The video technology advances in giant steps. In a short time the innovations become obsolete. If the videos were tools that could initially be in TV studios, for 20 years they invaded our homes. In this phenomenon the miniaturization of the teams had much to say. The minaturization has not ceased:

See if not the tool sent by the angry young girl from the image. This kind of box is at the same time a video camera and a recorder. Yes, you understood it well! In this size of a book is included the video-cassette. Being the camera size 17.3 x 10.9 x 6.1 cm, how is it possible to carry the video cassette inside?

Because that caset uses a tape that fills the new standard, 8 mm (locals use 12.5 mm).

This caset, of course, needs special magnetoscopes that are now being marketed. This system, despite its size, has another great advantage over conventional systems: being able to record sound digitally in stereo, greatly improving sound quality.

So, friends and friends, should we think that our "old" Betamax and VHS are back up?
