Hi8
Introduced: Late 1980s
Hi8 was an improved version of Video8, offering higher resolution and better image quality. It became popular with home users and semi-professionals for personal and event videography.
Preservation Note: Hi8 tapes degrade over time, especially if stored improperly. The magnetic tape can lose data or grow mold, putting your footage at serious risk of being lost forever.

Digital8
Introduced: Late 1990s
Digital8 was the digital evolution of the 8mm tape family. It recorded in digital format but used the same physical tapes as Video8 and Hi8. It was short-lived but delivered better quality for consumers.
Preservation Note: Though digital, these tapes still rely on aging physical media and are vulnerable to playback issues, mold, and tape deterioration over time.
