Is the HI 8mm Sony EVS7000 capable of single frame recording. Firdaus

Nada from what I've seen discussed. Single frame costs about $3500 on up. Sanyo's SVHS decks are often mentioned as a lot for the dollar. In Hi8 I'm not sure the deck model number but I recall it's over $5k. -jts

I think the Hi-8 unit John was talking about is the Sony EVO-9650. This unit is loaded. 8mm time code generator/reader (not RC time code), variable speed noiseless slo-mo, PCM audio, digital frame buffer for storing the image while it's been recorded, and a wire remote with a jog/shuttle dial. I think the V-decks are also capable of single frame recording but I'm not sure. Don't know much about the V-decks I'm afraid. If they are capable, these might be the ones to go with, as they are a lot cheaper than the EVO-9650. CK

I think I've seen it said that Vdeck must lay down a minimum of 4 frames per recording pass. -jts

FOUR FRAMES?! I suppose after you've made your first pass, you'd have to back up 3 frames and start the next pass from that point to end up with a single frame. Wouldn't that make single frame recording a lot of fun!(g) CK
