Does this camera play the thin Hi 8mm, or the thicker ones?

As far as I know the thinner is the Hi 8mn (looks like the old small audio casset) and has no adapter in the market and the thicker is the VHS-C and has the adapter (smaller inside the bigger one), so this camcorder plays with the thinner 8mm.

Not sure what you mean by thin or thicker. It plays the HI-8 format cassettes, such the ones you find on amazon under "Sony Hi8 Camcorder 8mm Cassettes 120 Minute (4-Pack)"

They're almost the same. Get the P310 as it's newer. Beware the small sensor and slow exposure.

You need to take a look at your settings. The size of your card doesn't mean much. Put you finger over your camera hole and wave your finger across the sensor. You should hear the camera click because they are a little noisy. Go back through camera set-up.

Mine has hi, med, low, strobe, and sos. If yours does that, it's the same model.

It will play and record regular 8mm tapes only. The discription for this product is wrong. I purchased this camcorder to convert my tapes to cds but had to return because my 8mm tapes are high definition and this camcorder will not play them. I purchased another one afterwards (Sony DCRTRV350 Digital8 Camcorder) and it worked great for the high definition tapes.

Guess you can try. I always use 'Hi - 8', and honestly, I don't know the difference. Hope this helps!

plays standard hi-8 and 8 mm cassettes. look at the 8mm tapes they sell at any best buy, rite-aid, target, cvs and if the ones you have look like those than theywill play.

I'm sorry I can't really answer that. I returned the camera and I bought a different kind.

Hi Samuel, this Sony camcorder can play Hi8 and 8 mm tapes. Will work also on NTSC tapes (supports NTSC color system). -Ely

Hi, Yes it will play all 8MM and HI8 tapes. Yes, it does have a internal speaker. If you have any other questions let us know. Thanks, Josh

The one I have has an orange strip and is F/2.8 stills version -- not the de-clicked cine version. I'm not sure what the difference is between the orange strip and the red strip version.

Sounds like a great suggestion, thanks. Do you use a 8G will this camera? Would I be correct in assuming you'd get about 1700 pics at fairly standard settings?

Hi there Patrick. All super 8 film is universal. It's a very easy format to work with. I've used this cartridge in many different super 8 cameras. The Chinon camera is a sound camera which is very rare for super 8. They made them for a short time. The great thing about super 8 film is it's ability to record the sound from your chinon camera. So yes. You should have no problem with this film. The gate on super 8 film camera only takes up half the space of the actual 8mm film. The rest is for the sound but most cameras without sound don't use the space and it gets wasted. You will be good! Cheers and happy new year. W.

As long as you still have the Hi-8 camcorder and it has a playback mode, which all should. Use the composite RCA jacks from the camcorder to this unit, hit play on the camcorder and record on the Sony unit and you are going.

The Revere 8 looks to be a camera that uses 8mm film, not super 8. These two film types are handled quite differently.

Yes it take pictures but in every video the movie and volume never match. Yes it has 8 gig my biggest issue is the video & audio mismatch
