Intersting comments Some Guy.I replaced my older 8 MM with a Sony Hi 8 a short while ago. I am very happy with the format, and find that when I dub onto VHS, I do not lose much quality. I have an analog mixer wich I sometimes use which must boost the image a bit.
I have used it to mostly videotape my sons' soccer matches. I recently taped some games that he played in Italy, and made some VHS copies for some of the other players. They really came out pretty good. My model has a 20X analog zoom, most of the entry level digital has only 10X.
About 2 years ago, I had about an hours worth of highlites from my older son, and I had sent them away to a lab to get put on a DVD. The quality seems to be better than the original tapes that I sent. Could that be? They were filmed on an older 8 MM Sony, and we swear that the DVD version is better.
