Looking for a DV camcorder with AV inputs

[aussiebloke]

G'day all.

I am looking for a DV camcorder that has analogue AV inputs and an inbuilt timebase corrector so I can use it as a portable video recorder to record from ancient tube video cameras I have dating from the 70s and 80s as I want to use them on remote locations without the need of using a big portable VHS recorder and long RCA leads. The cameras I use can be seen on my site http://1970scountdown.atspace.com/vintagevideo.html . Timebase correction is needed for my early cameras I use such as my Sony AVC-3200CE http://1970scountdown.atspace.com/avc3200.html as those cameras use random fields which give not completely stable output when recording to DVD recorder in which the motion will get jerky at times.

So can anyone suggest a good camcorder for my application?

Cheers
Troy

about the only cams i recall with tbc's built-in were old analog/digital hybrids the high8/d8 models. digital only cams don't have them.

Cool they'd be perfect for the job then, could you recommend any make and model of cameras of the high8/d8 variety?

ahh... it's been awhile but i seem to recall the sony DCR-TRV740 had a tbc.
