- I thought so. My TV is not that great, but the picture quality is much better
- using Hi-8 - if the number of dropouts are not too high.
-
- I rented a TR81 for a day to do some testing. I had some dropout problems,
- but the picture quality was enough better I decided to chance it that they
- could be worked through.
-
- Last night I bought one at Camera World's retail outlet. They are having a
- sale. I got a TR81 with everything that comes in the box, a soft case, 2
- additional 1 hour Hi 8 tapes and an extra Sony 2 hour battery for $959 or
- $969. I can't remember exactly.
