Long Live The Now-Outdated Flesh

If the medium is the message, than the message occasionally needs an upgrade to the most recent standards. At least, that’s what they tell us.

But is that really true? Do we all have to have Blu-Ray just because it’s fresh and exciting? The best messages are from the heart, carrying a deeper meaning that resonates down the years. Our strongest ideas still come from ancient books. If you have something to say, it won’t matter if it looks cutting edge. And if you have nothing to say, who cares how good it looks?

This JVC GR-DA30 Mini DV Camcorder w/30x Optical Zoom isn’t some kind of laser hologram creator. It uses Mini DV tapes, and some people might call that low tech. But when you’re looking through that Sliding Rear LCD and watching your family at the zoo, or you’re using the 30x Optical Hyper Zoom to record your child’s first sips of beer, or you’re unhooking the included Camera Strap to allow you to throw the JVC GR-DA30 Mini DV Camcorder at the ref because he just blew the most important call ever in the history of the game, you’ll be making a moment that’s full of meaning. And not even the largest Imax camera in the world can compete with that.

It doesn’t matter if it’s berries and reindeer dung on a cave wall. It doesn’t matter if it’s insanity causing oil paints. It doesn’t matter if it’s a JVC GR-DA30 Mini DV Camcorder w/30x Optical Zoom. What matters is what you put into it. After all, what’s better? Star Wars or Star Wars Remastered? Keep that in mind. Because it turns out that the medium and the message aren’t always the same thing after all.
