One day I simply decided I must become an owner of a MiniDV, and somehow it happened. I take it everywhere and say a silent prayer to John Wilson every time a fresh tape is loaded. It's become a better part of me.
The technology is ancient and time consuming. The batteries and tapes are absurdly bulky, the digitization makes me want to hibernate. But ultimately, I am completely enamored with the shittiness of it all.
There's nothing else quite as cute.
Note: Looks choppy on Chrome for some reason that is out of my control.
