I have been searching for a full-sized VHS camcorder for a month.
Vendor after vendor has told me that they are no longer manufactured.
I love DV, but for many situations, VHS meets our needs better.  I,
too, would welcome any suggestions for a source of any full-sized VHS
camcorder at an affordable price.
