Hi8 or Mini DV?

Howdy. Here's my position:

I'm trying to decide between buying a Hi8 cam and a high-quality card for bringing it onto the comp without losing a lot of quality (like, a $300 card). Or... buy a MiniDV cam and a firewire card.

In your opinion, what puts out the best quality video for putting onto a comp?

but. my friend has a Hi8 and he got a really good Analog to PC card and it put out some incredible quality video. So I was just asking for opinion, don't get all sarcastic.

firewire is several times the quality of any analog card. minidv is twice the resolution of hi8

yea the quality of the tape is just superior to that of hi8. so no matter what card you get you still are at a loss from the get go. Plus the abilty to control the camera from the computer is a plus, can just plug in the camera and capture away. i'd recomend minidv

Filming with an IMAX camera would be the biggest pain in the ass, those things are HUGE. You would need to have it on like a trailer behind a groomer or something.
