- Personal (and non-technical) endorsedment---
- go for the 8 mm. The ability to get 2 hours of prime video
- on a cassete is great, and if you are concerned
- about quality you'll quickly decide to archive your
- raw 8mm tape instead of copying over it. In this casecheaper tahn C. and the quality is far superior.
- I have many people how temm me that the stuff I shoot oon
- 8mm and dub to CHEAP vhs tape for them looks far better
- than what they shoot directly onto vhs. the
- techies woudl go on about bandwith and resolution...but the
- bottom line is that it just plain looks better.
