And to think that we're worried about the future availability of DV tape!

Sony has just pulled the plug on the Video8 format (the predecessor to the Hi-8 format) and Sony will cease production of 8mm digital VCR recorders in September. Video8 tape will still be available to consumers, though.

See here for more details.

Hi Andrew, do you know if the GV-D200 is still available anywhere ? I have a huge number of Hi8 tapes i need to archive.

Per the linked article, they cease production of that model in September ... so you're in with a chance.

Perhaps a DVinfo approved purveyor of video gear might be able to order some in?

Yeah, thanks Andrew. If they are still in production, then I wonder where they are all going? No one seems to have any in stock, especially the PAL version.

Oh well, guess I'll have to resurrect my old EVO-9850.
