Not really, but it looks to be video and not "phtotgraphic". Looks like it records direct to external storage device.

I didn't have any idea what it was. I thought someone might know what it was and if it was a good price.

If you don't know what it is why would you want it, regardless of the price.

Definately video based though. You can tell from the type of inputs/outputs on it.

If it is something someone could use for for there camera. It maybe a good deal.

I think it's a video thingy. Notice the S Video ports and the AV jacks on the right side.

Looks to be a duplication device for old slides and such. Record them to a CD or other media for replication/preservation.

Should come with other associated hardware/software. If it doesn't it wouldn't be worth too much.

It's possible it could be the body portion of a high speed video camera unit, but that is just a guess. It looks similar to an older style we used to use in a research and development lab at a company I used to work at a few years ago. I could certainly be wrong on this...just a guess.

It's a " thingyjig" for making "whatsits"...and unless you can find a market for whatsits, I would'nt buy it>

Looks like a densitometer- for checking the density of overall tones of 35mm film. The ideal film negative/slide had a density of Gamma 0.7 Regards, Ken
