Absolutely it should play your video 8/8mm tapes just fine. The standard IS the standard. I have multiple units of both Sony and Hitachi versions of this model, which I've used for several years in my Executiuve media communication training and video production business. Great stuff! So enjoy!!

Yes it should work. At this point in time finding the "CLD" still available was a blessing. It seems that the 8MM format is going the way of VHS. Using the CLD saved my camcorder.

No. This sony camcorder requires a "Hi-8 Video Cassette Tape". This is a smaller tape with ahigher resolution. Maxwell 6-120 8mm tapes are larger and will not fit.

I believe It should work, and I have tested with RCA output of Bluray player even before testing with HDMI output of Blu-ray player, but I have not tested with camcorder though

You can hookup the camera to a tv and play it from the camera, it Only Plays Hi8 tapes NOT 8mm tapes

No. Stop looking for a 8mm adapter, there are none. 8mm film is too small to play in your vcr and it would be much to expensive for the consumer if a company developed one. your only alternative is to hook up your 8mm camera to your vcr by rca cable and either watch or record to a blank vhs tape. Simple, cheap and it works.

Yes, the Sony HC-7 will play standard miniDV tapes from other cameras if they are recorded in the normal SP speed mode. I've done it. The HC-7 can also record in SDTV mode.

I believe so - I was converting VHS "C" format & 8MM. Very cumbersome process and I had to find a player that played those devices. Somebody has to come our with a better system. But after ,many hours (dyas) I did get 2-3 movies to come out fairly clean and audible.

BF, This is a great question, because the tapes look similar and it can get very confusing. So I'll make it really simple: If you have 8mm tapes, you'd be able to play them on your Hi8 or Digital8 camera, including this Hi-8 model. However, if you had a plain old 8mm camcorder, you wouldn't be able to play your Hi8 or Digital8 tapes - just 8mm tapes. --Mr.S

I had the same problem. NO this camera will only play digital recordings. I wound up buying an old camera to play my analog tapes and used it to transfer my analog tapes to DVD's. cheaper in the long run.

I believe so. I have a number of different 8mm Sony camcorders i,e. regular 8, Hi8 and digital 8. They all use the same cassettes. At least that's been my experience.

its a standard mic, if your camcorder has an 1/8" jack input "like a headphone" jack or that on a computer, it should work.

On my casettes it says Hi 8 and that is on 3 different brands. If Hi 8 and 8mm are the same I would say yes. I have had my camcorder for a while and I am starting to recall one time when I bought some tapes and I think,(not sure at this time) they could have been 8 mm, which would not work as the cassette is a different size. I just know I use the Hi 8.

yes, you can play them with this camera. I recently used it to transfer my old 'Hi8' tapes to digital.
