The 8mm format has been out for almost 2 years now, and is showing little sign
of catching on anywhere but in camcorders. It's just now beginning to show up
in hand held combo VCR/TV's, but you've got me whether it will succeed there or
not. Biggest problem with the format, just like with the original Betamax
format, is the relatively short recording time. (An hour per tape, I
believe…)
It *does* produce nice images, but is NOT better than S-VHS or SuperBeta in
quality.
