Sony DCR-VX1000

The Sony DCR-VX1000 was a DV camcorder released by Sony in 1995. It was the first to use both the MiniDV tape format with three-CCD sensors, boasting twice the horizontal resolution of VHS and superior colour reproduction, light sensitivity, and image sharpness than single-CCD DV cameras. It was also the first consumer camcorder with the ability to transfer video information via Firewire to an ordinary Windows or Macintosh computer. Together with the rival Canon XL1 and shorter-lived "budget" three-CCD DV models like the Canon GL1 and Sony DCR-TRV900, the VX1000 revolutionized desktop video production in the late 1990s, delivering quality comparable to then-dominant analog Betacam hardware at a fraction of the cost.
