I've seen a lot of stuff with a "VHS-like" effect on it, so the look is already kind of back at least in the form of an effect plugin for editting software. I doubt anyone will be giving up their flash memory camcorder or DSLR and editing software to get the real thing.

I guess somewhere out there may be a film student boasting that they shoot and edit on real analog tape.

Maybe you could build a kind of VHS tape loop delay out of a couple of VCRs and a couple of HDMI to Composite converters. As the tape got progressively worn you'd get the authentic crappy rental copy look.

Occasionally folks take the direct approach for simulating VHS...

Just saw that "Flo" insurance ad again. One technical issue they missed, if it was really true to form, the 16:9 would be letterboxed within a 4:3 frame, and the head switching would be at the bottom of the black bar. But they got the rest of the VHS tape effect pretty close.

To me a flying erase head is more important than the higher resolution. I look at VCR's at the thrifts to see if they are SVHS. I used to have the JVC Ed mentioned. It got zapped when lightening struck something up the street. I didn't see it. It was "nap" time and it sounded like a bomb.

So my question is: How do you determine the difference between "prosumer" and "other". Would the combination of flying erase head and SVHS fall into the "prosumer" category, or the "other" category? If it can fall into the "other" category then the market is obviously not restricted to "prosumer".

Flying erase is important if you do editing. Cleans up the video insertion points for the first few seconds until the fully erased part of the tape gets to the head cylinder. Does zero for picture resolution.

Your JVC that got hit- I'd say maybe a good chance it could have been fixed with a fuse and a power supply drive transistor.

I agree. Lost lots of stuff that was plugged into the wall, even wall warts. To claim insurance I had to have a technician report on damages for my "big" stuff (including a what is now referred to as a "BPC" Pioneer receiver). So I took all my big stuff to the guy who sold me the JVC. He was a dealer/service guy who did a lot of wedding, editing, and super-8 conversion stuff. He "totalled" everything and gave me the paperwork. I bet he did just what you said and fixed it.

Another good indicator of prosumer gear is build quality. The cases will usually be rather fancy/rugged. If it looks a good bit more sturdy/expensive than normal Walmart stuff of the time then it is probably prosumer, unless it is crazy over sized, and has a metal cabinet that looks and feels like it could survive being ran over by a tank...That is pro/broadcast gear.
