Old video camera
Usually I am a fan of old vidicon cameras from the 70's. RCA CC001, CC002, GBC, etc. But a Mattel Vidster digi camera came home from the Goodwill. Vintage 2005. It is a kids camera just past the Fisher Price cassette BW camera.
A dual function still/video effort. And not much of an effort. It jumps around in the auto iris and color balance, ending on mostly a blue condition. The video side is 320x240 and not good at that. Still pics are similar. Very low res and the same blue. Not sure of the full still specs. It can only go to a 512mb SD chip. I had one in the junk pile.
The video side seems to use a center cut of the full chip as it is magnified. Probably to save space. Saving it to rent to a hipster video producer needing vintage video. Any others out there?
