Response to Digital 8 versus DV... which is better?

Well Christa, I would say the first thing that comes to my mind is not so much the Contrast in quality between the two formats, but that fact that miniDV is already more common than digi8. Digi8 cameras, and tapes could possibly be discontinued because of the popularity of minidv. As far as the format goes, In my opinion miniDV is a joke for a format considering its time code problems. As far better or worse their both digital so i'm pretty sure (i dont know a lot about digi8) they're equal. It just depends on the camera. unless i'm way the hell of and have know idea what i'm talking about, i dont think there has been a 3 chip camera made for digi8 so the main problem is that no one wants to make good cameras for digi 8. some one else who fully knows what theyre talking about might answer you better.
