Honestly not exactly sure what the difference is I know my camcorder is hi8 and the movie I worked on this summer shot in minidv. So I am guessing the minidv is a better quality. But I just not sure by how much.

the website said that the minidv has anti-jitter and the quality is better.. the hi8 was good for dvd and vhs..
plus, the minidv cams were more expensive.. that was also a clue..

It depends on what you're trying to do. I've noticed when I was shooting with the mini dv. Actually the Canon xl-1 which is like a $4,000 camera if theres too much motion the camera can't keep up and you get pixelation. So I'm sure the cheaper minidvs prolly have the same problems. I've never had any problems with my little hi8 $300 camcorder. So I dunno if your just shooting family home videos I'd say stick with hi8. And the sonys are good.

Life with a child requires subtle changes and I've since started to tape 24 and just watch it at 10 when I know he is fast asleep. And it's funny when he chases the cat. and he doesn't break stuff I do. He turned off the switch on the power strip to our tv and I poked the power dbutton right into the tv rendering it useless. He is between the breaking stuff and annoying talkative stages. And diapers are just a part of life that I don't pay much attention to. It takes 2 seconds to change a diaper.
But aren't you impressed with how many details of your life I actually remembered? See, I do care!!
Just don't write back cuz this is prob the only time I'll ever be in contention for Post Whore of the day and you're my competition.

Dont mess with the master.
I am impressed by your memory of the inane little details of my life. I now have two broken 27" televisions (after my son broke the first one we bought another one with a service plan) Pretty soon we may have two functioning 27" televisions. Rock!

From my experience it doesn't happen as much with the Hi8 I think I have some kind of anti pixelation thingamajig. There might actually be a setting on the minidv to counter that problem but I don't know. From my experience minidv pixelates and hi8 doesn't.
