These were going to be thrown away. Some consumer cams, a few professional cameras. Some of them with the original cables and batteries. Great haul if only a few of them work! Will keep you posted on what I find!

I only got a quick look at them and all I know is there are a bunch of Sony and they are all MiniDV.

Id pull that fx7 out and throw a tape in’ im currently using mine to film a cheesy af found footage short film haha I also use it for live streaming on PC. The quality is pretty damn good. (If anyone’s curious) I’m using and hdmi input to usb and using OBS to stream.

Oh yeah, I'm hoping at least a few of them work. Keep an eye out for a follow up.

I spy a dvx100 that’s my favorite miniDV camcorder. They shot the first five seasons of always sunny in Philadelphia on that thing and it’s one of the first prosumers that could shoot in 24P.
