JVC GR-DV1

I had to go through some headaches to get this JVC DV1 back to work. Remember this was the very first miniDV consumer camera ever launched, at $3000 in 1996. While the unit was in good condition I had to source a new battery. Also this camera didn&come with a digital port so I had to find a newer hdv camera that would let me play a DV tapes. Then believe it or not finding a computer with fw400 wasn&easy, and no one has mini ieee394 cables anymore. So I had to order a new cables. I ended up using a 2002 iMac which has the fw port. Which of course didn&have any capture software. Good luck finding 15 year old software. But anyway, I succeded and finally here it is, rejoice with the image quality:
