For Sale: Video Camera - PD170

I just realised that I haven't used my camera for six months so it's time to dash it. Not many hours, kept in good condition and serviced, bought from new, a load of accessories and waterproof camera bag.

Open to offers but around 1500 would be ace.

Time to make those video sections look a little better.

wow. thats quite a camera!
Tynan?..... i think he uses a 5D mkII though.

I've got a friend who might well be very interested in this mate, i'll get back to you as soon as.

Weird ? It looks like you are responding to a question, yet I can't see my name in last_caress's post ?

Yep ! 5D mkII and a HV30. The PD170 is very nice, I think it is 3 chip (?).

It is 3 chip but only PAL DV (DV-Cam) standard def... a good solid machine tho...

does it contain recently deleted protest footage and smell of** Patchouli?**
are you a copper?

James - that's awesome, get back to me.

Tynan - correct, it is a 3 ccd camera. In my opinion still the best ENG style camera. You can pull it out and stick it on auto and always get a result, which isn't so true on the more fragile and light dependent HDV models more recently.

Adman - it's Standard Def, yeah. But you get less digital artifacts than from a cheap HDV at the moment.

Slag - I think there's a bloody dreadlock still attached, but I've pulled all the indymedia stickers off it so no-one will know any better.

Yup... especially if you shot on decent DV-Cam stock.

:-)

I've used the PD-150 and PD-170 in the past. Love the quality of the footage.

Bzump yo'. No takers?

Sorry dude, my mate would be interested but he has not got the funds at present.
