SONY PDW-F70 XDCAM HD CINE ALTA Prof Disc Recorder

Sony PDW-F70 XDCam HD CineAlta Professional Blu-Ray Disc Recorder — This XDCAM HD recorder is in "as new" condition with very low hours. There are no blemishes, scratches, dings or other damage of any kind — it is immaculate and it functions as new. This machine was used lightly by a professional freelancer who has recently retired. He has asked me to liquidate several items for him. This machine is immaculate, so it was obviously well cared for. The machine was purchased from Sony as B Stock by the owner for $12,750. (It was used for 40 hours as a demo unit by SONY during NAB). The machine currently shows just 50 hours of use .
