15 Sony DCR-TRV340 Digital 8 Handycam Cameras (or equvalent model/cost - new models are out March 1st) plus 15 camera bags

CT

£7,920

The increasing numbers of ET and CT Digital course students requiring digital cameras. There are not enough of these basic cameras in Liongate for the above courses and all the other units/courses requiring digital filming and editing. CT there needs its own cameras. These can then be maintained and distributed as required. By close monitoring we believe the life of these cameras would be extended certainly a lot longer than those in Liongate. Current estimate is that CT will have in excess of 200 students requiring cameras for filming and editing next semester.
