Great for archiving old Hi8 tapes to digital
I got this to transfer the many Hi8 tapes I had into digital form. My old Hi8 camera was inoperable so I couldn't use it. So I didn't purchase this camera to record things, only to play back, but it has a lot of recording functions and bells and whistles that it looks better than the one I had. It's not too heavy for a Hi8 camera but of course, the fact that this holds tape, makes it heavier than the new digital ones that hold cards. Still, it's surprisingly small.
I bought this because it was also Video 8 and has firewire ability. So I use a firewire plug to go directly out of the camera and into my older MacBook Pro (that has a firewire input) to import into Final Cut Pro 7. Since there's no timecode, I can't log and capture clips, but I can use the capture now function and even control the camera within Final Cut Pro. I've only imported a few tapes but already it's working really well and I'm very pleased. The quality is as good as the original tape and the sound is in sync. I haven't tried a full tape to import at once, but I expect it will sync fine as all of my VHS did when importing through my miniDV/firewire deck. So far I'm extremely happy with this purchase and thrilled that I will finally have all my memories saved safely before the tapes wear out.
