I don't buy this as an EXPERT testimonial, since I just got one, and I have a boat load of 8mm tapes, used several Sony and Canon camcorders for that format, I don't see the Digital8 camera being compatible, it records and plays back in the D8 format only, not analog. Nor does it play or record on standard tapes, think of it as S-VHS, S-VHS will play back on a normal machine but not be useable, The camera uses Hi8 format tapes to record D8 at a fast rate of speed, that clearly makes it unusable
@MetallicBill There are various model D8 Sonys, some have analog circuits so they are "backward compatible" and some like the TRV140 do not, but it works fine with any 8mm cassette, and there is no Hi8 or High Band indicator on the camcorder, so it's not associating with a need to use Hi8 formulation for D8 recordings. My videos I'm putting up now include material I shot in D8 format using LP speed on standard 8mm cassette, you may notice little of no difference among the other sources!
@monidhoni15 Under the front plastic door, there is Firewire or iLink and in the back of the camera on the left side there is a USB port for the streaming USB feature, if so equipped, you can check in the menu options that they are also enabled however
@leonardo1480 With a 8mm-C adapter! hahahaha Nope, sorry buddy, Sony's answer to miniDV was Digital 8, it was a transitional measure that cut cost of adoption from analog to digital, the cost of DV was very high initially
this camera is the best I ever had it can be more of 2001 has features that other Recentimente camera has, I ate it today and I'm happy with that wonder.
Mate get your facts right, I work in the film and video industry, yeah your video is ok, but MiniDV come out long before Digital 8, MiniDV come out in 1995, whilst Digital 8 come out in 1999.
This guys emo.
