Handycam Hi8
Get the look: 1990s & 2000s
Ideal for recreating the feeling of the 1990s through 2000s consumer video, the Sony Handycam Hi8 Camcorder is the smallest handheld camera in the Retrocams fleet. The auto focus, auto exposure and servo zoom are the perfect combination for recreating the feeling of a home movie aesthetic. The additional monitor and recorder are all powered via the small onboard camera battery to maintain that agile feeling of authentic Handycam footage.
No longer limited to recording to its original Hi8 tape, this camera has been digitally converted to record to either Apple PorRes or Avid DNxHD.
