Panasonic M10 full size VHS camera
was in a local thursday market today and could of had the camera at £25 but
I bargained it down to £20.
In its original case with PSU and 2 batterys.
Was working when I switched it on but I didn't buy it because I could not be
bothered going to the hole in the wall to withdraw the cash.
Would you have made the effort to buy this?

Do you own a museum?
If not, no.
You can get digital still cameras that will record better for about £50 or a
full HD camera for about £400.

Second hand video cameras are a nightmare if the electrolytic capacitors
dry out or are "bad caps"

Yeah, I would - but I collect electronic junk anyway :-)

I think that's pushing it. I can do 640x480 30 fps on my still camera,
but a camcorder it ain't.

That is better than an old VHS camcorder is going to do.

Better resolution, but that's not the whole story. Try panning with a
still camera.

Not much good for shooting the frozen maize scene in "The Shining"
though. The OP was presumably interested in film rather than home video
or he wouldn't have considered such a huge camera.

Same solution as a digicam.. tripod or monopod and don't forget to turn the
image stabilizer off.
