STORM TRACK: January 31, 1985 (Volume 8 Issue 2)

Flash! Planning to buy a video camera? The saticon tube is best for outdoor, infinity taping per Jim Leonard and sales reps here and in Miami. However, the JVC GZ-S3 & -S5 cameras are no longer being made so consider getting one while still on store shelves. Thoughthey resolve 270 lines like their close twin, the Canon VC200, the JVC portable recorder picks up 240 lines vs. 230 for the slightly costlier Canon (manufacturers specs). Thus, the JVC may be slightly better for chasers. But act now, or soon your only choice will be the Canon.
