Do you have any suggestions for old camcorders that play 8mm video? Looking for something to play old videos. Preferably something that has an input (or multiple) that will allow me to plug a device to transfer to a digital format. (Also something I need....)

OR

if you know of a long-lasting brand like a sony or panasonic that makes camcorders and would have sold durable tech that used 8mm tape that'd be great. Would inform potential rogue eBay purchases :)

For a Christmas present for my mom! SO plz assist! P.s. sorry for the myspace level ending I've had a few
