If you get an AG-1980, do some research and learn how to properly clean the heads. Don't use a head cleaning tape, do it correctly and with the right kind of swabs. It's actually not that hard, but you do have to be careful. Cleaning the heads can also make a noticeable difference in the quality of the capture.

Puggo,

Any chance you'd share some editing experience of yours with the AG1980? It would seem that I might need some tutelage on using different modes and cleaning. I've never used mine in edit mode nor have I ever used NOR so I am going to have to learn.

Thanks
