PD150 Users Please Help
I am participating in an Escrow.com Transaction of which I have three days to inspect the camera. Supposedly, the camera is 6 mos. old, and the "hours meter" reads as follows:
OPERATION: 17 X 10H DRUM RUN: 8 X 10H TAPE RUN: 4 X 10H THREADING: 13 X 10 I will assume that those numbers are 1st order powers of ten, so that said, is this considered high or low? Is this actually older than stated? I have owned a TRV9 and two TRV900's (still have one:>)...) but this is another level. Any and all advice will be appreciated. Regards Justin |

It doesn't seem excessive for 6 months old, but its not low mileage either. An hour a day for 6 months is used. What type of camera is it? Make and model?

Look at it this way. The camera was on 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week for a little over 4 weeks. Produced 40 hours or so of tapes. Sounds like it was used for probably 2 major productions or lots of little ones, spots etc. Good luck.

Looks like it's gone through 130 eject cycles with 170 hours of operation, 40 of which were recording. Looks acceptable to me for a six-month-old camera.
