I was going through some old stuff I had laying around and I found 2 old cameras and a video camera. these any good should I keep them??

I found a sony handycam that I got in Japan about 12 years ago, a 20 some odd old Minolta all manual and a 12 or so year old Minolta

If they can take pics of lasers, or are over 10 years old there worth something.

See if the Handicam uses digital tape. If it does, it might be useful. As for the cameras, the bodies probably aren't worth much, but the lenses might be. I'd look them up and see what they go for now.

the handy cam uses 8mm tape, all the cameras look like they have never been used at all they are solidly built, I have a ton of lenses for them and effect lenses that IDK what they do yet as they are still in the packaging all were bought in either South Korea or Japan ;D

it sure is... I have a similar model Minolta, and it is/was a great camera (talking about the last camera in your photos). The original lense wasn't as sharp as I wanted; but replacing that gave me essentially perfect pics. I used it for many things but did quite a lot of macro shots (nature subjects).

I've been tempted to sell it, but didn't figure that would be worth the effort. Wonder what it's worth?

i bet you could somehow use the lenses to make a laser beam expander!
