The Sony Videocam a Necessary Tool

By Bradley R. Smith ∙ August 15, 1993

Last updated on

As you have probably guessed, what with my videotaping interviews with Hans Schmidt and Charles Provan, I've finally invested in a video camera. Before, I could never justify the expense. Anyone can start shooting interviews and public events. The problem isn't in accumulating revisionist film, but having a way to distribute it that can pay for itself. The Catalog for D&B Productions intends to solve that problem, so I decided the time had come.

After shopping the stores here in Visalia, I bought the Sony 8mm Video Camera Recorder CCD-FX51O at Circuit City. Its retail price is $1,300; I got it for $850. The camera has all the special features I'll need in the near future. There was the camera, then the extra battery ($75), the carrying case, tripod, insurance for three years, etc. It all added up to $1,350. It wasn't cheap, it wasn't expensive (I could have spent $3,000 and more), it was just right.

Of course I didn't have the $1,350, so I opened an account at Circuit City. I've made one $50 payment. The rest of the bill is hanging over my head. If you can, please give me a hand with this one. Some unique video opportunities are coming up. Some I can handle myself, some I'll do with David. And I'll do everything I can to make the camera pay off for us.

Thanks.

  • Bradley R. Smith

    Bradley R. Smith was born in Los Angeles on February 18, 1930. At 18 he joined the army and in 1951 served with the infantry in Korea where he was twice wounded. After three decades of a variety of professional activities, it suddenly hit him: In 1979 he read a leaflet by Professor Robert Faurisson, "The Problem of the Gas Chambers." Then, Arthur Butz’s The Hoax of the Twentieth Century did it for him. He understood from the beginning that he would address the censorship, the suppression of independent thought, the taboo against publishing and debating revisionist arguments—not the arguments themselves. That has remained his position. In 1989, Smith founded Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH) dedicated to defending free speech and free inquiry into the Holocaust question. He handed over CODOH's helm in late 2014. He passed away on his 86th birthday, February 18, 2016. Read a series of obituaries here.
