In Reply to: Hi 8 / digital 8 VCR? posted by crazychile on March 20, 2003 at 16:02:04:
I'm in the same mess and am considering the same SONY model. Just ran across a Hitachi VMD975LA digi 8 camcorder but know nothing about it. Also would love to find a digital8 VCR
Follow Ups:
The other thing that has occurred to me is that other digi/HI-8 manufacturers may be using the same Sony transport mechs. If that is the case then the Sony is probably no better or worse than anything else.
I don't know of any Hi 8 decks. I did see , a few years ago, a Memorex , but it wasn't Hi 8.
I am in the same boat, and I use my Sony Hi 8 heavily to do sports videos. I usually send the signal through an analog mixer, which provides a little boost. Than I have the VHS for viewing. I think that the next technology will be the mini dvd camcorder. I therefore am not going to spend anything on digital. If my Hi 8 dies, I will replace it with the cheapest Hi 8 I can find. Prices have been falling.
