Digital Hi8 Camcorders
What type of film (Hi8, Digital8, Video8) can be played on the same camcorder?
I used to have several old Sony camcorders, and now I have a collection of tapes which are Video 8, Hi8, and Digital 8. I want to buy an old camcorder, and was told that there are ones out-there that are able to play 2 types of videos, but I’m not sure which. Do Hi8 camcorders play both Hi8 and Video 8 or is it that Digital 8 camcorders also play Hi8?
hi had the same challenge, started using basic 8mm in sanyo video years ago and later upgraded to sony dcr-trv355e digital 8 after trying out mini DV ect.
Basically it plays everthing and using it’s firewire/usb/video in & out/s-video …. well you get the idea, I can convert all my old tapes to DVD easily….you can get one on ebay very cheaply. The quality is DVD standard.
Older video camcorders will not play the newer Digital 8 but the newer cams should play everything. Video 8 was a bit like Beta and VHS video war – video 8 lost out to Hi8 and digital 8 and believe it or not bog standard 8mm.
can’t understand you wanting an older camera – there pants compared to the newer digital 8 ones.
Also when working for cable TV in the states we always used Digital 8 – -don’t know if this was because it’s still better than even new formats or just habit?
