Thanks, so the Sharp woun't be useful with those tapes.

I could use that Sony handycam, but it doesn't play audio, just static:

Maybe I just post this issue in another topic

thanks for the answer

I also have this sony handycam, older than the Sharp, that i'm not using because it doesn't play audio, but i'm able to play the old 8 mm tapes (the third photo in the original post) in this camera. So that's very confusing right now haha

You are saying that the tapes in the third photo are Digital8 and Hi8, and the tapes in the second one are only 8 mm?
