The only 8mm camcorders which Sony produced with the digital name were Digital8 camcorders, which recorded with the same digital codec as MiniDV digital camcorders. If you have an 8mm camcorder with a DV digital output (IEEE 1394, known as firewire or iLink), then it is a Digital8 camcorder, which will not record in Hi8 analogue format, but may well play back analogue tapes.
