THIS USES MINI DV TAPES.

Works great. No issues. Just don't film hunts like we used to. Takes great video. Just not super convenient with the tapes and not living in a big town. I believe we took tapes to Feist Electronics and the converted the tapes to digital on a flash drive. Turned out real nice and was not expensive to do.

Comes with everything pictured. Lenses. Power cords. 2 batteries. Other cords. Carrying case. Manual. 

Fun to take back to camp, hook up to the TV with an hdmi to hdmi (not included) and watch again.
