Hitachi digital 8 camcorder-Sam's Club-$399.91 -ymmv

[SteveS]

On clearance at the North Scottsdale Az Sam's Club for this price today. Not bad for a digital camcorder if you need one.

thanks for your info.
by the way, what does ymmv mean?

YMMV

Does anyone have one of these cams? I'm looking for a way to archive some old Hi8 tapes to digital, and I'm wondering if any of these Digital8 cameras with a 1394 port would provide that functionality.

AFAIK, the D8 cameras have an encoding capability, so it will send a signal through FireWire port while reading an analog tape.
