Geoff, I bought a DV camera which takes hi8 (I think it's a Sony) with the intention of converting my analog hi8 tapes to DVD. (My canon camera had stopped playing tapes possibly due to dirty heads).
I've done the conversion but have to double check to make sure I haven't missed any.
The camera still records nicely and will play/record both digital and analog hi8.
I was going to put the camera back on eBay to recoup the money I spent, if you're interested I'll be selling the camera once I've confirmed that I have successfully transferred everything.
If you're in a hurry, you could alternatively look on ebay for a similar camera, they seem to sell for around the $100-150 mark, simply because the're getting rarer and people like us have old hi8 tapes.
PM me if you're interested.
