  14. >In another of Sony's blunders, they used the name BetaCam more than once.  The
  15. >first product was a home consumer camcorder, that recorded in the Beta format.
  16. >It never did good and died.  In Sony's wisdom, the name got used again for a
  17. >professional product that used Beta-like tape, but wasn't in the home Beta

  22. Wasn't the consumer camcorder line called BetaMovie?  I'm pretty sure that
  23. I remember it that way, but I could be wrong.  I certainly don't remember
  24. BetaCam associated with any consumer model equipment.
