I wanted one of these so bad when I was a kid. I saved and saved my money, and when I had enough money to buy it, my parents talked me into getting a keyboard instead. To this day I have no idea why they talked me into it, or why I let them. I didn't want a damn stinkin' keyboard. I wanted a PXL 2000!

Dear God I want one of these

[Threetails]

I wish they'd kept these on the market 3 or 4 years longer. I've had a camera in my hands since I could stand, and something like this would have been right up my alley around 1990 or so.

My first camera when I was a kid, I am now shooting my second music video.

[danmu]

Wow...this was my first cam. I carried it everywhere and must've recorded hundreds of hours on it :) wish I still had it

[MiscElaineous51]

@alienhddna LMAO That's out there. I wasn't that kind of kid and my parents didn't think I was. I do have a digital camera now, and actually when I was a teenager my parents bought a video camera which they let me use of the time. :)

@MiscElaineous51 one thing i can think may be they did want you useing to spy on them while haveing sex or you could use makeing naked video of your self that why they did want you to have one may be now you can get a a real digtale camera that record better video then that thing i wanted one my self back got the nintendo instaned my self i saw this being used i did not like the way the video look it look like crape

[mitchsavini]

I got mine Christmas 87...like a lot of other people on here I was into Freestyle and skating ( 2Hip King of Vert ,anyone?!lol). Mine was a piece of crap and broke,but not before I made several movies...anyone know how to get the videos off cassettes w/o PXL2000

[brainfarth]

I remember that camera... Brings back some good memories.

Well, this was the marketing ploy that got me tugging on my Mom's bank book!

I was just getting into BMX and Sk8ing in 1987 and they were clearing these PXL's out at Consumers distributing (canada) with the whole package for around $100

so my Mom went for it! Then my brother wrecked the little TV and adapter while stoned so it's been impossible to see the videos for many years. But I Still have the cam and tapes..so some day to transfer..thanks for sharing the commercial

man it was too expensive for me back then :(
