There are various brands represented, but the one I shot some ARSC Conference footage on is Sony. Mike, you're there! Mike, you're gone! I shot a family reunion on 3M and it is the WORST! Also used Fuji and it seems to be holding up the very best. I know I must have used some Maxell but I don't find any in the current pile of tapes working. I am using a Sony GV-Dwhatever00 thanks to your suggestion Michael. Great little box. No rewinder. The camera hasn't been used in years. joe salerno On 12/21/2010 5:40 PM, Michael Biel wrote: > On 12/21/2010 4:16 PM, [log in to unmask] wrote: >> On the topic of Hi-8.... >> >> I've been digitizing some of mine and some are just dreadful for >> building up gunk on the heads of the player.
