 Great Device - but pricey. January 11, 2008

I got this 8mm Video Walkman to play my old 8MM tapes when my 14 year-old Sony Camcorder finally stopped playing back with good quality. The Video Walkman VCR is very nice, and is a quality product. It plays the old Video 8 tapes very well, and allowed me to do video capture of my legacy tape collection. Sound and picture quality are excellent. It's just too bad they didn't have a less expensive unit, as I really don't intend to use if for digital tape recording. I only needed it to play back my old video 8 tapes. If you need to rescue an old tape collection because your old camcorder is no longer working - this unit will do the job nicely. However be prepared to pay a premium for the priviledge.

May be the last of its type to play both analog 8 and digital 8. Have been told Sony's newer digital8 camcorders are not backward compatible! Only drawback to this item (our business now has 4 of them) is that as they age, the circuit boards start to give the wrong instructions, i.e., our oldest model will often go into record mode when hitting "play." Suggest you always close record tab (why did Sony reverse the record tab procedure that other tape formats use????) before hitting play and the problem will not occur. This has been a vital item for our video transfer business, but not necessarily an item the average consumer needs.
 Good unit way overpriced February 21, 2007

even though i found a good deal on this it's still duplicated at almost the same quality just by playing thru the camera.

Buy this product through Amazon get the lowest price then enjoy it. I'm using it as an editor. It has outstanding features quality. I'm thinking of purchasing the DV Walkman as well to save my camera from double duty but will wait for the price to come down. You won't be dis-satisfied with these products.

I am in the middle of a project to get all my many "old" Regular 8 and Hi-8 recordings onto hard drives and thence onto DVD's. In the midst of all this old my Sony CVD-1000 died on me, and I have, over the years, spent too much on repairs for it. This led me to the Digital 8mm Walkman. I have NOT used it, and will not use it, for RECORDING (I do not record in Digital 8 format). But for playback it is superb. I am very pleased with what it does. very. I suspect that some of my satisfaction comes from the Sony introduction of video-processing circuitry, which evidently cleans up the images remarkably. However, there is a price: some of my "pans" now involve a degree of blurring, which I do not think are present when played "unprocessed". But I have decided I am more than willing to accept this negative in face of the excellent video I am now capturing. So my five stars are based SOLELY on playback. One can cut out the video processing if one wishes; it is quite easy. Incidentally, the small size of this unit is a welcome plus; my workbench is already quite crowded with equipment, and I appreciate the Walkman's very small footprint greatly!
