What it is
{"overview":"The Canon Canovision EX1 Hi 8 is a consumer Hi8 camcorder produced by Canon. On that limited evidence, the camcorder sells for a low double-digit price at auction today, with value heavily dependent on whether the unit powers up, the tape transport works, and the original battery and charger are included.","buying_guide":"Hi8 camcorders of this era commonly suffer from perished drive belts, dried capacitors, sticky tape-loading mechanisms, and degraded original NiCd battery packs. Before buying, check that the camera powers on, that the tape loads and ejects cleanly, that playback shows a stable image, and that the viewfinder is not burned in.

Questions
Is the Canon Canovision EX1 Hi 8 still usable?
It can still be used if the tape transport, heads, and battery are in working order, but Hi8 cassettes, batteries, and service support are limited, which affects its practical value.
