Step back in time with us as we explore the iconic Sony Handycam Hi8, the retro camcorder that captured a generation of memories. Before 4K and smartphones, there was the unique feeling of filming on videotape. In this video, we're not just reviewing an old camera; we're remembering the experience - from the black-and-white viewfinder to the magic of NightShot. The VHS camera which brings your old memories back.

Join me for a journey into the heart of 90s and 2000s tech. We dive deep into the tactile experience of using the Sony CCD-TRV408E as our guide, exploring the powerful optical zoom, the feel of the buttons, and the precious nature of the Hi8 tapes (or VHS tapes) themselves. We also look at why this "imperfect" lo-fi aesthetic is making a comeback with modern artists and filmmakers today. Whether you have shoeboxes full of old tapes or you're just curious about the retro tech boom, this video is for you.
