Ask this question to a south-Asian consumer electronics forum. This is the wrong forum for this kind of question.

Those DSLR models you mentioned are not home-use portable. OP asked about consumer camcorders such as JVC GR-D240EK MINIDV CAMCORDER like one below :

Very difficult to even Google such miscellaneous questions. I tried but didn't get the answer from my attempts.

@TheNewb77 said 1980s. Was that all? I thought hand-held home-use type video cameras must have been available since the time of black & white era, at least to rich people.
