my dad used these cameras since my brother was born and probably even before that, it was a different camera since my brother was born in 1997 but i am obsessed with these type of cameras and my dad had two, the older one and this one and he let me keep this one just recently and i’m so excited about it. i love watching my videos from when i was a baby 14 years ago and everything i did:)

Back then, documenting family moments was more of a ritual than just pulling out your phone. And those older moments preserved on tape feel less "disposable" than what can be recorded on a cell phone. I would recommend backing up your footage to a DVD or video file for preservation purposes. Thank you for your comment.

Anyway, wish me luck!

Samsung used the same battery design on MANY camcorders, so look for an aftermarket battery that fits.

One channel in the stereo pair will be the audio, the other will be the video (I forgot which is which).

On my "to do" list is a general video about transferring footage from camcorders, covering the different types of outputs, aspect ratios, audio, etc. I will be sure to include this model in the video. As far as this camera, you will need a TRRS A/V cable to plug into the A/V output just above the 3 position toggle ring. Alternately, you can use the S-Video output just below the menu ring (video only). If you use S-Video, you will still need to A/V cable for audio. I plugged the outputs from this camera into a DVD recorder, then ripped the DVDs.

Fun Fact: The Sony Magic 8 was forwards compatible with Hi8 and Digital 8mm Tapes.

A Great Tip! but Leave a tape of something weird in the camcorder, maybe it will become viral lost media on TicToc.

As far as vintage cameras I review for this channel, I'm at the mercy of the thrift stores, flea markets, garage sales, and pawn shops I frequent. If you need another "Hi8" in your life, I have no suggestions. If the thing you love about this camera is the feature set and menu structure, it was maintained in Samsung's MiniDV models. I purchased a SC-D372 at a pawn shop over a decade ago. The battery no longer holds a charge, but the camera still works and has many of the same features of the Hi8, including the same visual effects and the EasyQ button. I am also curious about some of the later Samsung models that use Flash Drives instead of being tape based, but I have no experience with these.
