In 1998, the Sony CCD-CR1 "Ruvi" was the world's smallest camcorder... and also one of Sony's least successful products. It records analog video onto about 30 minutes of Hi8 tape sealed into a "video ...
cartridge" and can also capture still frames with 5 seconds of audio. I take a close look at the Ruvi's design and features and demonstrate its recording quality.
