SONY CAMCORDER Hi8 Review - Using a 25 YEAR OLD CAMERA Today!

#RETROTECH#SONYHANDYCAM#Hi8
If YOUTUBE was a thing in 1997, the Sony Handycam Vision CCD-TRV99 Camcorder would be the camera EVERY CREATOR would be shooting with. This 23 year old camera has a flip out colour LCD screen, 522 min battery endurance, 18x optical zoom and an auto focus system that STILL rivals cameras today.
