If there was a camcorder that managed to make it into our hearts through the years then it has to be the Sony Handycam. The brilliant video capturing device made its way to us back in 1985, when I was just a new born child. It’s an honor to share a common date of birth with something so incredible. The first Video8 camcorder totally blew the then-geeks off their feet.
Well, the name ‘Handycam’ stuck because these cool camcorders made it into the ‘handy’ gadgets section. Wow! 25 years and we’re still shooting. At him boy!
