Yes, indeed it does work! I'm pretty surprised that there hasn't been more
talk about this thing as an ADULT toy! In the local discount store it is selling
for $89 this week! For those not in the know, the Fisher Price cam-corder
uses cassette tapes (you get about 7 minutes or so from a 90 minute audio
cassette) instead of the expensive "real" video cassettes, and is 
black/white only. I've seen one set up in the toy store and, although the
picture is a bit blurry when recording fast moving stuff, was pretty 
impressed with the machine. I plan to give one to my daughter and keep one
for me, so we can swap videos with each other. (She lives about 1000 miles
from me.)
