Essentially new! Yes I opened the box and used it a whole 2 times! Once for a grade school basket ball game and the other to tape my saltwater fish using the nightshot! I'm selling this because I want an iBook to complement my iMac. Too bad because this camcorder has firewire and my new iMac does too.. But I just don't use the camera enough. This is a 1999 model.

I'm also including with the package (what comes in box) a Sony NPF950 Info-Lithium battery which is the longest lasting battery you can buy for this camcorder.
Selling for $800 remember this comes with the Super Long Length infolithium battery. The included battery lasts only about 30min using the viewfinder. Email me if interested.
