The 8 mm video format refers informally to three related videocassette formats for theNTSC and PAL/SECAM television systems. These are the original Video8 analouge format and its improved successor Hi8 (both analouge & digial), as well as a more recent digital format known as Digital8.

Their user-base consisted mainly of amateur camcorder users, although they also saw important use in the professional field.

The format was created and launched in 1984 by Eastman Kodak  Kodak had designed a camcorder based on the format but Kodak withdrew from the market very early before it was established.

In 1985 Sony of Japan introduced the Handycam, one of the first Video8 cameras with commercial success. Much smaller than the competition's VHS and Betamax video cameras, Video8 became very popular in the consumer camcorder market.
