“IFA History Feature” brought to you by Messe-Berlin
Camcorders with built-in VHS or Beta cassettes were bulky. The industry tried to size down with smaller cassettes. VHS-C was a reduced VHS format, in 1982 8mm-Video was announced. In 1989 at the International Funkausstellung, or IFA, Sony introduced Video-8 High band. With the introduction of the solid state technology at IFA 2001, the SD card by most manufacturers and the Memory Stick by Sony one year later, camcorders could be reduced in size, as the cards were tiny and there was no drive needed. Cassette based camcorders practically disappeared from the market.
