I purchased a digital 8 about ten months ago, as it seemed when I did my research then that it would be a better choice (film cost, etc.)... however, as time goes on, it seems that the digital eight cams are being "outshined" by the mini dvs. (The mini dvs are smaller and seem to be better quality.)(posted 7946 days ago)Can anyone out there comment? What do you think? Do you think the digital eights will eventually be phased out?
