Panasonic AG 450 SVHS Camcorder Review 

i own one

Can you help me set the date on my AG 450

@@njbreeze2330 You know I've know really had it on enough to figure that out. I would look for a user manual online. I'll be looking into it soon though. I'm getting mine back from a fella who was able to "shock" my 450's iris back into working order.. hopefully it stays that way.. best takeaway.. don't leave the AG450 off for 20-30 years.. :)

you could swap the viewfinder with a different Panasonic camcorder!

I have swapped the two viewfinders, but it looks like they both don't work! I'm gonna try and fix them...

Can you help me set the date on my AG 450

"known issue" What kind of excuse is that, They should have got you a new one. Hopefully you did not buy from that store again!

​@@RobbieStrike I got it mail order out of NY, when I told him the problem he said it was a known issue with that model. I told him how could I have known that? He said I should have tried one out in a store near me before I bought it. The manual iris would work partially, but it would fully close if you turned it past half closed or so. I think I paid close to $1500 for it. I was a huge fan of Panasonic camcorders and VCR's. The AG-450 was my 4th Panasonic videocamera ( and first camcorder ) at the time. Looking back I was way more impressed with the WV-3260 when I first got it. The picture was incredible for the time. Whereas the AG-450 seemed not much better than the consumer level S-VHS Camcorders at the time.

Was my batteries are over 20 years old so they don't work anymore. Just the age of the old one's. When I ran it in this video I had it plugged in the whole time I was operating. I haven't looked to see if you can actually buy new ones but I doubt it considering the fact that that model has been made in years

Do you have the output adapter? It switches modes when you slide the cover for the buttons. Maybe the switch there is not working!

May I have one of them? 🤣

1991

I had one in 1989.

Did you check the connections?

Already have!

I sold it a few years ago but when I sold it it had no issues it was working

@@RobbieStrike oh, do you know when this unit exactly release?

the Charger has video and Mono audio

Something is broke in it :(

ottawaoctane yeah kinda figure that one out, when I realized it through the eye monitor on the camera 🎥 🙁 I had such high hopes for it but was resulted to disappointment.

I dont use it. Never ship anything. I need to learn how to do this with large items and make some $$$ doing it . were are you located at?

@@RobbieStrike I'm based in New York, but I know FedEx does free pickup. Maybe we can arrange it that way? I'm very interested in purchasing this from you. Is there a good e-mail to contact you?

I got it second hand back in 1996 from a Freenet group

For $200 + shipping. What do you want it for?

Omg n no way !!! I’d love to have it !! And I would like to film my daily life with that camera. Is it completely functional
