Also what sort of situation are you talking about when you loose quality with very low light; outside in the dark?

No could be in doors with poor tungsten/fluorescent lighting.
For instance when people want a "party" filmed and they turn the lights down low for a "Party ambience"..it is very often to the detriment of video
As such the idea is not so much to compare the low light ability of the newer miniDV with Hi8 but to acknowledge that no camcorder will not do better given better light..
Better low light ability comes with bigger sensors , Faster lenses and better electronics which may be scarce at the lower end of the price range
