I loved my Betamax! It was built like a tank! I remember the tapes were expensive, $15 for a 60 minute tape in the beginning. That's $15 in 1978 currency. $15.00 in 1978 had the same buying power as $57.13 in 2016
The house I'm working on right now has them and I'm keeping them because the house was built in 1978 and I'm only updating the outside and leaving the inside its retro look.
@@blastradius9136 And patterned wallpaper, colored carpets, lampshades with tassels and avocado-green toilets, fridges & ovens... 70's decor had more flare. 😎 Nowadays, dull, dark colors and wooden floors are the trend in modern decor since the 2010's... They call it 'minimalism'...
Oddly back then the black and white cameras where better then the colored ones over how the colored ones would make colors way darker and red seemed to give many of them a fit.
I remember seeing 2:12 when I was younger and was stunned by the ability to instantly record something with a camera hooked to the VCR itself. Too bad Betamax was a huge flop, as I found out a few years later.
B/w was outdated for home *MOVIES* shot on film in the mid-70s, but certainly not for home video. Marketable consumer home video and home video camcorders were certainly still in their infancy at that time.
I saw the 1975 TV console version at Olum's furniture store in Binghamton, NY. Probably a lot of wealthy Jewish families could afford them (hence elohainu melech ha Olum). Also I'm sure the balding Jewish Israeli men named Hymie or Chaim at B&H sold many of these.
2:28 - A TV cameraman he is not. At this point in the video it gets creepy with that wood paneling - like they're in the basement....and this 'guy' is taping these kids....yuck. 2:47 - Video hit. Ah memories...
My god that’s a beast of a machine. I love that we had to be shown how to use the video.

The optional timer at 2:03 is like an old taxi fair meter!
It's incredible that this video is still actual. Only the tape had been replaced by an USB stick, but principe of use is still the same
Just got my Sony SL 8200 last weekend, in perfect condition.
Just got mine from a goodwill for $15 in nearly perfect condition there such mechanically interesting
This is great. I'll hook it up to my console TV and record the game while I listen to my 8-Track tapes.
Good video
Set the time. Insert the tape. Add plutonium. Its that simple.
Nothing says 70's like wooden walls.

Paneling in walls was staple in the 70's. Everybody had them lol

That was the wooden age.
"Black and white sound camera"! Oh, my God!
Oddly back then the black and white cameras where better then the colored ones over how the colored ones would make colors way darker and red seemed to give many of them a fit.
Sony Betamax had the best quality, but VHS was cheaper. End of story for Betamax.
I’ve seen Betamax openings. They’re pretty low quality
how can you say sony is betta after such poor quality video?
But it evolved to a professional broadcast format, called Betacam! So there you have it!
The 70’s when everything was wood paneled.
Was born in 84 but love the feel
what a time to be alive
2:35 This was why they failed.

I still have my SL-8200 on permanent display. However, what I'd like to have is this guy's head of hair...
And how.
Just hope it never falls because it would leave a hole in the floor .
Wow!
In fact, after putting his family to sleep he's going to watch a cool movie with Ron jeremy and Seka
Shut up and take my money!
His family's diet largely consists of fresh souls.
Wonder how long the monochrome camera option lasted. Seems outmoded even for the mid 70's.

@@tlatosmd but they had iPhones back then. Soo
The 70s God bless
The guy in the suit and tie is very creepy.
Hell yeah! I want one.
Hahaha as a kid if I waited until 1am to watch something, it usually was not something appropriate for my age if you know what i mean
Gotcha lol
