Default Re: Is a Hi8 Cassette the same as a VHS-C one?

I used to own a Sony Digital 8 recorder at one time. Video 8 and Hi8 preceded the Digital 8 format. I could play and record Hi8 cassettes on my recorder as the Digital 8 system is backward compatible. It might be worthwhile looking for an old Hi8/ Digital 8 recorder as these sometimes appear quite cheap second hand. I no longer have mine unfortunately and have switched to the HD video option available on my digital cameras which record on to mini or micro SD cards.
