I have a sony fx 510 8mm camcorder. I use svhs now for all productions, but I would like to use the sony for family stuff, etc,.because of its small size and decent picture quality BUT all the newly recorded stuff is in black and white! Before I spend an arm and a leg to have it fixed …. does anyone know what may have caused this and whether it would be an expensive repair? thanks!

Griffth…<g> Seriously, how stable is the picture otherwise? I mean, is it *good* solid black&white (like it was meant to shoot that way) or is it a weak signal (like something's blown)? Either way, I'd guess you're looking at big bucks to repair it. Tim Liebe
