This camera has been in storage for for almost 30 y...ears. The batteries were left in it and they became corroded but I successfully cleaned them out and the camera tested properly with new batteries. With batteries installed, I could hear the camera mechanics operating to film and record in both 18 and 24 frames per second. The lens focuses manually just fine and the power zoom from wide to telephoto works properly, as well. The overall condition of the camera is in great shape. It comes with a Canon BM 70 microphone. The case for the microphone is weather in certain spots as you can see in the photos. The microphone is in great shape, except for the coil cord which has some age wear on the cord, as you can see in the photos. It requires a battery which is not included. I was not able to test the microphone since I didn't have film. The lens does not have any scratches, as you can see in the photo of the lens. It comes with a carrying case which is not made specifically for this Canon camera but fits in there just fine. Also included is some type of device that can be plugged into the camera that has a button on it. I'm assuming this might be a single shot accessory possibly for stop-action filming, but I'm not sure. I tried to see if it would work by plugging it in, but I couldn't get it to work. Maybe you can figure it out.
