- Well, when I first bought my V-101 Hi8 camcorder, all I had was a 13"
- Hitachi color TV. No composite inputs, only RF. And I *still* saw a major
- difference with Hi8 over 8. Like, no comparison. The 8mm video had
- terrible color, and was generally muddy. The Hi8 looked *much* better. I
- would highly recommend Hi8 over regular 8mm, to almost anyone. On my 31"
- S-video monitor, the difference is just all that more apparent.
-
- Don't let someone tell you there isn't much difference between the two
- formats.
