Vintage video cameras.



It is very important in a museum that specializes in old video recorders, to include a selection of vintage cameras.

Please note -
Many of the exhibits are in storage. That is because we are at the moment building new premises.
That means that the photographs we need to take will have to wait until the last quarter of 2006.
Indeed, until everything is catalogued, we are not exactly sure what we have. In an attempt to set
up the web site ahead of schedule and working from memory, we are temporarily using some library
photographs and preparing the pages as best we can.

This page will contain -

The Sony 2400 video camera that partners the fist ever portable reel to reel video recorder.
The Sony 3400 video camera that partners the second Rover portable reel to reel video recorder.
The Sony 3650 video camera that partners the third Rover portable reel to reel video recorder.
The Shibaden HV405K video camera.
PANASONIC F10-HS studio camera with lenses and accessories.
PANASONIC F15-HS studio camera with lenses and accessories.
JVC 1700 camera with SVHS back.

1965 The Sony CVC-2000. 1st domestic video camera









Sony lay claim to the first ever domestic video tape recorder (reel to reel video) with the
CV-2000. This is the camera that accompanied this VTR. It is considered to be the first
ever domestic video camera. It is therefore a very important museum exhibit.
There is no viewfinde, no mini CRT monitor, not even an optical viewfinder.
There is, however, a couple of wire squares that have to be lined up rather like
cross wires. In the satellite industry, not using a proper meter for location, just using
a compass or the sun, shadows and time of day is often called "direct reckoning"
If we were to call these sights, "pointing by direct reckoning", we would not be far
wrong! It is likely that the no-parallax errors with this type of picture framing
would be quite high.

Sony HVC 2000P

1977 JVC Color Video Camera GC-4800U Power & Color Unit

1974 Sony dxc 1200 colour studio camera.



This large heavy camera is 700mm long. It is a medium studio camera although it is probably
about the same size as a modern full studio camera. Back in 1974 many studio cameras
where considerably bigger at the time.
