What is sony digital 8?

Sony Digital 8 is a digital recording format for camcorders that was introduced by Sony in 1999. It uses the Digital Hi8 tape format to record videos and provides improved video and audio quality compared to its predecessor, the Hi8 format.

The Digital 8 format also supports a variety of recording modes such as SP (standard play), LP (long play), and EP (extended play), providing users with flexible recording options. It can record up to 60 minutes in SP mode and up to 90 minutes in LP mode on a single 120-minute cassette.

The Digital 8 camcorders also include various features such as image stabilization, digital zoom, and night vision capabilities. They also support USB connectivity, enabling users to connect the camcorder directly to a computer for easy transfer of the recorded videos.

While Digital 8 camcorders are no longer manufactured by Sony, tapes and accessories for this format are still available for purchase online.
