In 2010 it's all digital in digital out, be it from DVD/AVI source or HD camera input. Nothing really gets used much in the oldskool analogue method,
Umm, not so much. I have and use Hi8 and SVHS cameras, and even have a MiniDV camcorder with no digital outputs. I will keep using what I have until it falls apart. I have plenty (understatement) of other uses for the money required for replacements, and what I have gets the job done. I'll bet I'm not the only one.
