View Full Version : Can Digital8 sony cam play back 8mm tape? (not Hi8) Ben Vallack June 20th, 2003, 04:33 AM I need to capture 8mm tapes to our system, and I can get hold of a sony Digital8 cam which will play back Hi8 as well but I dont know if it will play back normal 8mm tapes. Look forward to any replies. Kinda need a quick responce so many thanks in advance. PS, we have a MiniDV deck with most types of analogue input. Vladimir Koifman June 20th, 2003, 04:39 AM I believe it should play back 8mm. Old stuff support is the only rationale to get D8 camera, so I almost sure they do. However I do not have personal D8 experience. Rick Spilman June 20th, 2003, 05:43 AM Yes. Ron Little June 20th, 2003, 08:51 AM I have one and the answer is yes. Ben Vallack June 20th, 2003, 10:23 AM Thats good! One other question: is 8mm the same as Video8? Ron Little June 20th, 2003, 10:26 AM YES Ben Vallack June 20th, 2003, 10:28 AM Cheers Ron! Forgive the ignorance, I'm not used to these analogue technologies! |
