Can the old broadcast camera work? How does it compare with ordinary digital cameras now?

This kind of old equipment can't be compared with the current digital equipment, and it has almost no use value.

First of all, Panasonic M5 is a VHS video camera, which should not be broadcast-grade.

In the past, the broadcast-level equipment that integrated video was at least a Beta machine, and later it was a digital Beta.

Now the digital Beta machine is still in use, which is called standard definition machine in the industry.

Secondly, this old machine can't be compared with the current digital equipment at all, and the gap between the imaging quality and the current tape DV is not generally large.

If you regard it as your hobby of electronic equipment, it doesn't matter if you repair it for fun.

I'm not familiar with M5, and I don't know how it behaves in low illumination, but it should be incomparable with the current DV equipment.

Because it is a VHS format machine after all. I found online that it was only 500 yuan, hehe. . .
