Doing a video conversion for a friend, I realized just how far we've come... [View all]

My first camcorder was an RCA VHS recorder, the thing was the size of those news cameras, and heavy!

Did take great videos though.

One of the formats I converted for my friend, (putting his old videos onto DVD,) was VHS-C.
I have an older VHS VCR, and an adapter for the tapes.

Then came 8mm, I have a Hitachi camcorder that doubles as a player for 8mm videotapes.
Did 5 or 6 of those for my friend.

I still have an el-cheapo digital camcorder that records onto SD cards.

I also have a high-end camcorder that does likewise.

And I have a GoPro.

At my Youtube, is some 8mm films converted to digital video, and stuff I recorded using the different digital camcorders and the GoPro.
