A couple of years ago, I heard several rumors about a Sony camera that
included a magnetic disk recorder that was supposed to retail for 'under $600'.
The disk was a small (3-1/2) inch that could store about 3 minutes worth of
video, but you could single frame and timelapse etc.  I later heard that the
product was released in Japan.  Has anyone heard similar?  It was supposed to
make the Super-8 cameras obsolete by providing those features that Super-8
has but video hasn't.
