At one time Sony was very good about backwards compatibility. When they
came out with Hi-8, those machines could also read regular 8mm. Their
early D8 models (most, or maybe all) also could convert 8mm or hi-8.
The reason I went D8 instead of miniDV was a huge number or previously
recorded hi-8s. But, with the demand for cheaper camcorders, only the
more expensive recent Sony models have the capability.
