Tech: Sharp Hi 8 Viewcam Model vlh420

[Camille Atkins <CUAVCU@AOL.COM>]

Hi Folks!
I have just been given a used Sharp Viewcam Hi8 model.  It did not come with
the owner's manual, so I have no idea how to use this smaller version.  I was
hoping that someone could at least tell me what size tape to purchase.  I
have no experience with these types.  I assume that it uses the 8mm tapes,
but I thought I would check with my Internet colleagues before heading to the
store.

Now, I know from the archives that this is probably not the easiest camera to
work with because it does not use VHS tapes, but since it was a freebee and
appears to work, I thought I would give it a try.

Thanks!
