    It took a bit of browsing through google images. 🙂

    If I didn’t throw it out a few years ago, I would be able to give you the model number and some clearer photos!

    I don’t remember other cameras with two lenses, but I never looked around and I was really young at that time too. That one just stood out because it had two lens barrels. It was either Video8 or Hi8.
    I remember the wide angle sensor being pretty soft and crappy.

    Kodak’s V570 reminded me of it… 23mm in a compact is pretty cool!

    A friend gave one to me a long time ago… I remember seeing it in shops when I was a kid too… it was really expensive then.

    From memory it was a Sharp model, had a spring-loaded lenscap that was attached to the body, and the first (or one of the first) color LCD viewfinders (with pretty awful resolution). It also recorded audio in stereo, and had RCA outputs on the side underneath a flap. One lens was wide, one was zoom. It wasn’t a shoulder-mount camera though, it was a handycam-style camera.

    This is the only photo I can find of it… is it the one you had in mind?
