if you get a digi8 we can swap tapes... isn't that what you've always wanted?

# I spent about 700
on my camera years ago and it hasn't been a waste at all. I say get a camera. That is a good deal for a digital camera.

The digi8 and the minidv encoding is exactly the same format, same resolution. And you won't use any of the special features ever, except maybe the night shot, which is cool.

What really pay extra for is the lense and the ccd. The cheapest minidv is 3 or 4 times that price and the lense and ccd are actually not as good. (I use a camera at work with an 8,000 pound lense... cool, eh?)

So get it.
