Bit of a different thing on LGR this time!

I had this new old stock JVC camcorder from 20ish years ago and now is the time to finally open it up. It's pretty darned similar to the original camera that I originally used to record LGR back in the day (and the pre-LGR videos as well!) so it was a real treat to experience one basically brand new. I seriously did not expect to enjoy it as much as I did around town, thanks to the battery somehow still holding a full charge.

And yep, that's all this is! Not exactly my usual fare but still within a familiar-feeling wheelhouse, so hopefully it's a fun watch. Now it's onto tackling the next video for me, which – wait for it – is a classic DOS PC game review :O

Opening & Using a 𝐍𝐄𝐖 VHS-C Camcorder! 2003 JVC SXM250

Unboxing a new old stock Super VHS video camera! This JVC GR-SXM250u is pretty similar to the original camera that I used to record LGR back in the day, and it was a real treat to experience one that was unused. So let's get this electronic treat opened up and tested out, and record some video tapes decades later! ● LGR links: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● JVC marketing video comparing S-VHS to VHS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xTIvWqpngg 00:00 JVC GR-SXM250U 01:01 The Original LGR Camera 02:30 Super VHS tapes 03:45 Early 2000s camcorder options 04:59 Unboxing the SXM250 11:33 Power on, retail demo 14:29 Testing a VHS-C tape 16:15 On-camera features, menus 19:51 Out and about recording things! 29:48 Playback on a CRT TV 33:52 Live feed, summing things up #LGR #camera #unboxing #retro #video
