Hi,

This is a wierd one, but I said I'd post and ask...

Are there consumer videocameras (8mm, preferably) that can take a video 
signal from an external source and overlay it onto the image that the camera 
itself is taping?  As I understand it, this would be one of those 
lightweight all-in-one handycam units (camera and tape recording 
mechanism in single housing, like a Sony Sportcam) with a "video in" that
wouldn't switch out the camera element.

Conceptually, the syncing problems (not to mention gain, color balance, etc.)
would be, ah, interesting, but hey, who knows, MicroMiniaturization Is 
Wonderful Stuff...

Anyway, thanks in advance.  E-mail replies appreciated.

Lee
