There are two types of 8 mm camcorders available for home users, analog and digital. Both cameras use the same size of videotape–8 mm wide–but the main difference is the way the cameras save data onto tape. The digital 8 mm records digitally with 525 lines of resolution, while the analog 8 mm records at 400 lines of resolution. Because both types of 8 mm camcorders record in the same manner, the two run into the same issues. Likewise, both types of camcorders are corrected in the same way. Writer Bio
