: Could someone tell me where I can find an inexpensive hi 8 player to conect to my TV to show home movies I can,t afford a hi 8 camera
Tony,
Unfortunately, a Hi8 deck (if you can find one) will cost MORE than an Hi8 camcorder. You have a couple of options:
1. If you have a collection of Hi8 tapes, but nothing to play them on, consider having them duplicated to VHS. Many small video services can do this for you; look in your local Yellow Pages. (If you're near Washington, D.C., contact me; I can do the job for you.)
2. If you have an operating Hi8 camcorder (the one that made the tapes in the first place), just hook that to your TV and use it as the playback deck.
3. If your collection of Hi8 tapes is large, or if you want to preserve the original quality, rather than accept the degradation of a VHS copy, get a Sony camcorder in the Digital 8 format. These not only record in D8 (which is, electronically speaking, the same as DV), but can play back your Hi8 legacy tapes.
Regards,
Doug Graham
