I got interested, which VHS camcorder was the last one, and who made it?
LGR has an
unboxing video of a never used 2003 VHS-C camcorder, but was it the last year a VHS - full-size or compact - camcorder was produced and sold?
I figured that JVC and Panasonic would be the two prime suspects and googled around a bit. I see VHS-C camcorders in the JVC 2005 and 2006 product catalogues. I could not find 2007 and 2008 catalogues, and there are no VHS camcorders in the 2009 catalogue.
I also checked ads in magazines like Popular Photography, and I checked Amazon website, which already existed at that time.
It all points out that 2006 was the last year, but maybe someone has different info. In the meantime I made a
short video about the 2006 (well, actually 2005, but it is exactly the same) JVC SVHS-C camcorder, which I consider the last one ever sold, at least in the U.S.
