Whoa!!  Hey!!!  Chotto matta!!  Maji ka yo!!!  A digital camera that
will play old analogue 8mm tapes?  And will output the video
digitally?  Really?  Banzai! - Banzai!! - BANZAI!!!!!  I spent vast
amounts of time taking hundreds of hours of tape around 1990 and since
all of my analogue 8mm tape machines are broken, I've been wondering
how I'm going t get that material digitized.....

Does anyone have any other information about this?  (I'll Google
later, but still...)
