For Sale:
Canon Optura 20 Mini-DV Digital Video Camera/Accessories
Wireless Lavalier Mic
Tapes

These items are NEW.

I purchased them a few months ago for a project that never materialized. I used the camera and mic for about 10 minutes to test to make sure it worked (and will do so again, of course, before selling... in person, if you're picking up at my place (Rogers Park hood)).

Reply to cdm -at- goodshow -dot- net, or call 773-764-9176. I will be out of town 12/9-12/13, but will still be reachable by phone.

Sony Wireless Lavalier Microphone Set - $80

I don't think I have the original packaging on this (it was one of those infernal plastic blister pack things that are pretty much worthless once you open them anyway).
It's a nice mic, and worked quite well for the 10 minutes or so that I tested it.

This is the Mic:

3 boxes of 10 60-Min. JVC Mini-DV Tapes - $40/ea. box of 10

2 of these boxes are unopened.
1 box was opened to get a tape to test with, so I've inserted a spare (unopened) Sony 60-Min. Mini-DV tape I had into that box (i.e., 9 JVC, 1 Sony).
