One of the reasons no-one has answered this is possibly because there is no such thing as an 8mm camcorder.

Do you mean an 8mm film camera, or a Super 8, or a camcorder using tape, or DVD or HD?

In any case I doubt if anyone is going to give you their camera.

Dick,

That is why I mentioned I am willing to purchase it.  8mm is very old technology and it is possible somebody who has upgraded may have an old one they no longer need.  I have a mini-dv camera and a broken 8mm camera and would like to get the film off my old 8mm tapes.

Thanks,

Sharkster

Sony marketed the Video 8 and the hi bandwidth version Hi8 during the '90s before digital technology overtook it. 

Try ebay. I'm sure you'll find something suitable there.  Be aware that you'll need a Hi8 playback machine if the tapes you have are Hi8.

Great thanks, I will look out for your PM.
