The AVC-3250CE Tube B/W Video Camera

About this classic camera. The correct model number is 3250.
Some people ask, if you're wondering, my accent is West Midlands. Half Walsall, half Birmingham, UK!

I really want to buy a tube camera. I mostly use CCD cameras but I hate the look of them.

I need to dig out my old Magnavox Newvicon tube camera...

Thanks for posting your fantastic demo on this camera. I have an AVC-3250CE myself with viewfinder n it works great although for outdoor shots I have to adjust the iris so it's between 16 n closed as it seems to overexpose, other than that it gives a nice crisp B&W picture. These cameras were made around 1974. I also have a 1970 AVC-3200CE that worked perfectly until I foolishly pointed it to the sun burning the shit out of the tube, I recorded it on video too, oh well you live n learn hehe.

Best regards from France!

I just recorded 2 music videos with exactly the same camera. (though I have a viewfinder that came with it!) Of course I was looking for that oldtime videoquality, etc. PLease feedback my vids! (click on my name here in this textbox, you'll find em!)
