Nikon video
cameras for 8 mm. video tape.
Most cameras
are Sony clones, fitted with a CCD-sensor, using 6Volts batteries, featuring
optical zoom and digital zoom and stereo sound recording. Cameras with
a 4-digit code are for NTSC/PAL* TV-format, earlier models offer NTSC*
only! .
* NTSC (National
Television Standards Committee) is used in the USA and some Asian countries;
PAL (Phase Alternation Line) is used in Europe.
BTW:
most Nikon cameras do not have a lens maker's name!
