Who was the market for the JVC CR-6x00U?

Just to clarify Sony did not go M-load with the Betacam/Videos/Hi8 formats, they were still loop thread B-load. The only M-load 8MM was the TASCAM 8-channel DAT used in the professional recording arena, I have a version 4 DA-88 and it is definitely M-load. Both of my portable BetaSP decks and digital A500 machines are B-load while my VO-2860 is U-load.
The SVHS and Hi8 had a higher luma frequency response than BetaSP however their S/N ratio was not in the real world despite what the printed specs said.

They did on single-piece, that is, non-modular camcorders. Same for 8-mm camcorders. Same for DV camcorders.
