Thanks I am takeing this all in. And from all this great information I am starting to see some light as too the Pros and cons of this buying choice.. Mostly no one has a problems with the picture quality just the physical tape and how it holds up. Do you do much editing with Hi8? Will it hold up during a normal edit session?? Or would I be wise to take a generation lose and move to SVHS for editing ?? Thanks Bob.
