Digital 8 camcorders?

Question

am I correct that Sony was the only company to produce these? if anyone knows, I need to know EVERY model that they released prior to replacing them with miniDV format camcorders. I'm pretty sure all the model #s end in "0" but I need to know if there were more than a few, and which ones are able to connect to a PC via firewire and can also playback/upload Hi8 and 8mm tapes digitally to my hard drive!

It's not strictly accurate to say that Sony replaced their Digital8 products with MiniDV.  They introduced the DCR-TRV480 and DCR-TRV280 in 2005 to compete in the "long optical zoom" market.  I don't know if they're still being made, but they're still available.
