Hi8 Camcorder

Find Hi8 Camcorder Collection Online

Hi8 is a higher quality version of 8mm. The tapes are the same size and shape as 8mm tapes, and they can be used interchangeably in some cases. The difference is that metal evaporated tape is used, which allows it to record more resolution. Hi8 is the highest quality consumer analog tape available




the Eye of Providence (from the sky).

Filmed with ir modified samsung analog hi8 camcorder. Its littlebit over exposured(just turned the backlight compensation on and testing it) and out of focus….they appeared so suddenly and i had manual focus set to 150-200m and did not have time to adjust. Zoomed in 22x when shooting i have no idea how high in thesky they was but think its 35-50 m.

Sony CCD-FX230 Video8 Camcorder from 1994

Here is yet ANOTHER camcorder video about an older type from the Video8 days. I traded my Insignia pocket camcorder for this one, which I feel was good because I hardly ever used the Insignia after getting the HDR-CX150 to replace it.

Sony DCR-TRV280 Digital8 Camcorder from 2005

Ahh…my first DV camcorder that I bought in 2006. This is what I got after my Panasonic Palmcorder IQ started chewing tapes, but I don’t think it was immediately after. Anyway, this is right on the starting edge where my shooting picked up after 5 YEARS OF NOT SHOOTING MUCH OF ANYTHING!!! My whole junior high and 3/4 of my high school life left UNDOCUMENTED on tape :( Anyway, this camcorder is a Digital8 type that takes 8mm video tapes. They can be standard 8 if you use the SP setting and keep the heads clean, which will save some money. Comparing this to my TRV65, it has a little bit more sharpness and an improved S/N ratio, but it is lacking the great features of the TRV65. I wish I had bought that camera instead, or a MiniDV camcorder because Digital8 only records for 1 hour, like MiniDV, but is is much larger. Is the sacrifice in recording time worth the increase in picture quality from this camcorders chip? Absolutely not! Give me analog Hi8!
