Here's 15 seconds of the second video in my micro-short series Portland on DV: "Beaverton Celebration Parade."

Captured on a low-res camcorder from the early 2000s, and such a unique look for the Portland area that I just love. Enjoi, and stay tuned for more! 📹

I mainly bought it to be able to digitise my #miniDV tapes (again). But also because it's fun (if it works). The battery that came with it was dead, so bought a two pack. Was surprised these are still widely available (did get a 3rd party brand which I normally don't do with batteries).

The camera came with 4 NEW tapes as well which was quite the surprise. In some ways the camera is brand new. At least some of its accessories (like the included SD card).

This #Canon #MVX300 #miniDV #camcorder is quite something. It feels more modern than the old broken #JVC one we had, but that one had more features (like a builtin light!). Sadly it doesn't have a microphone input. It does however advertise to have "megapixels" 😄. Which is actually about 1.3MP haha. A 16MB SD card was included for photo's. It can even record a ten second clip in 320x240 to the SD card, or 160x120 even!

No clue why they would include that though.

Good grief #FireWire is finicky! Not sure if it's actually the #miniDV #Camera being troublesome or just the FireWire interface on #MacOS. I takes several reconnects and reboots (of both camera and computer) for the camera to be properly recognised by the OS.

And even during import I've already had a data connection loss. The FireWire cable is brand new, but the Thunderbolt 3 -> Thunderbolt 2 and Thunderbolt 2 -> FireWire adapters aren't. So...

Esta mañana he vuelto a grabar algún video pero, esta vez, con la cámara Mini DV.
Es el campanario de la Iglesia de San Agustín en Valencia. Desde siempre me ha parecido que no desentonaría en las películas del Señor de los Anillos xD
