Mini DV is more the standard format
Not too many digital 8 decks are available
Digital 8 is a format that Sony created and is only available from them(or used to be anyways)
If you have the budget go Mini DV
I am currently using a digital 8 and can find no quality difference compared to miniDV. However a 1/2' 3ccd mini dv cam will be far superior. but expensive.
The only downside of mini dv is
you can run 2 hrs on digital 8
and max 1 hr on mini dv
I've used both quite extensively, and for all intents and purposes, the quality differences were negligible - however, I'd have blamed the camera before I blamed the media.
