What is the best 3-Chip MiniDV cam on the market? Or, should would
Digital 8mm be the better way to go?

My understanding is Digital8 is a proprietary consumer Sony format using 8mm
tapes.

I wasn't aware of a professional grade camera in that format. I own a
consumer grade model and use it for shooting small scale productions for
clients. It also has analog pass-through which I use if I have to digitize
an analog source like a VHS tape.

If you're talking 3-CCD, it's safe to assume you're thinking high-end,
pro-sumer or professional grade video.

Big price difference.

What are you intending to do?
