Probably more available in Japan than the US. A solid camera with good optics. Not quite as optically nice as a Minolta Autocord or Kowa Kalloflex, but much superior to any Yashicamat. The one criticism they get is that the twin lever focusing system creates one or two additional openings for dirt to enter the camera, and it has zero weather or dirt seals. Having a selenium cell meter, it's nice that it still works. As for the video, most of his comments are generic to all TLRs, and he doesn't describe the few unique features of the Diacord. Unlike more sophisticated TLRs, the Diacord does not automatically cock the shutter when film is advanced, and you must separately cock the shutter to make an exposure. That's why he was able to accidentally make those double exposures.
