Yeah. Plus, almost all skateboarding and snowboarding videos made for sale used MiniDV because of the inexpensive and compact nature of the cameras. You could get angles with steady cam rigs that you couldn’t get with larger cameras. Now a lot of that footage is captured with GoPros.
Correct.
Minidv was 'hd' and even though used little tapes they were digital, not analog.
I had one. The video WAS excellent for the time.
All my home videos back then were great, then when we switched to early smart phones, the video sucked, until it progressively got better.
We used them for snowboarding the took pretty good videos we could slow down and study our technique.
