    From the late 90s into the 2000s I was using those because they were all we had, when I was in my 30s. As much as I agree with you on the vintage look and as much fun as I had, I don't miss the technical and mechanical issues like you described having, which I used to frusterate over. I couldn't wait for the simplicity of the age we live in now. I love what I have today, and it's not fancy or expensive.

    I also have an even older Video 8 camera somewhere. Fun fact - you can use the Sony camera to take tapes from an older analogue Video 8 camera and pipe it into a Firewire capable computer. It gives a more stable input than using the phono cables!
    I must dig these relics from a bye-gone age out.

    Those were the days when the 8mm first came out. 120 minutes of tape time, digital and in a smaller cassette too. No more VHS. I have two similar cameras like yours and about 6 mini DV cams I've collected from thrift stores. I know their limitations but I just can't stop using them and that's where a lot of the fun lies. I also love the eyepiece better than just a viewscreen which is difficult to see in daylight. Good video, thanks.

    I need a second hand camera to play and to transfer the video to my laptop.
    There were some Hi8 cameras that wouldn't play 8mm tapes recorded on the previous basic 8mm system.
    I remember that some Sony Digital8 (2003) were able to play 8mm tapes and it had the cable to transfer the video to PCs. I wonder if someone could let me know the correct model, please.
    Is there any other better option to transfer the 8mm video to a laptop?

    No matter what you record with the analog camera, you would get a 90s hood footage

    2:40 that fluid is acetone. you can use any type nail polish remover without perfume and additional skin care stuff, plain old acetone is fine. or regular isopropyl alcohol is fine too. how do i know? I am 51yrs old :))

    I have a working Sony Hi-8 handy cam a working Sony HC-9 HD mini Dv handy cam and a Canon Vixia R300 small camcorder. So if I ever need a genuine vintage look I'm good. Oh I forgot to add I have 2 working Super 8mm Film cameras. But to get a genuine vintage look for cheap. I put my old Minolta or my old Canon FD mount lenses on my Canon 90D ormy Canon R7. It might still be shot in 4k digital. But the video has this organic soft focus look that's still genuine through those old Manuel lenses.

    I had this camera back in the day. However, they break easily and you need an old-school computer and software that has firewire to get the footage

    The built in mic sounds better. There's a high freq ringing noise with the Rode mic. Maybe an external recorder would be better with the external mic?

    If you use the Sony brand shotgun mic, you won’t need to use an audio cable. It attaches via hot shoe. Also, it’s better to export video from the camera using Firewire instead of the analog RCA cables. I have the same camera-bought it new in 1998. Still works great.

    • @VizwayMedia
