Q. The feature is being able to see an overlay from a previous shot, so as to compare the previous still image (excerpt from a previously shot scene) to what's currently being seen by the camcorder. I need to compare these two right there at the set, right there on the camcorder, so I won't have to plug it into an editing program to do the comparison.
What is this feature called exactly?
What is this feature called exactly?
A. I have been unable to find such a feature in a camcorder. Various google searches have turned up many references to this in editing software, but this is exactly what you don't want. I did find one reference to Samsung working on this in a still camera, here:
http://petapixel.com/2013/05/24/samsung-working-on-overlay-feature-to-help-strangers-snap-better-shots-of-you/
There are also references to Image Overlay in other cameras (like the Nikon D5100 in its Creative Effects menu - see here at the bottom of the page):
http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/dslr/d5100/features02.htm
There are other references like in the Panasonic HX-WA2A and HX-WA3A, but it wasn't clear if it meant what you want.
So, to answer your question it looks like the name is simply Image Overlay, but it is not a feature widely available. My own half hour searching really didn't turn anything up (which is probably why there are no other answers given here). Good luck!

Camcorder or flip cam?
Q. Both with a tripod.
A. Hi Jen:
You actually phrased your Question better when you later asked it in "Polls & Surveys"... mentioning "for vlogging" here would have been helpful.
First, you should know that the Flip series has been discontinued by its maker Cisco Systems, although they'll continue Customer Support until the end of 2013. There were a lot of customer dis-satisfaction issues (especially with the HD models) that led to its demise.
The Flips are fairly easy to use, they have a tripod thread for mounting (which some pocket-cams don't) and travel easily. But if you don't already own one, don't buy one. There are better pocket-camcorders with tripod mounts out there, for the same money.
If you or your folks already have a camcorder, you'll find that most full-size or palm-size camcorders have better quality and auto-focus features that the Flips don't. And the mikes tend to be bigger and better than the pin-hole mike in a Flip.
The other nice feature with camcorders & palm-corders is the side-mount LCD screen can be turned around to face you for vlogging sessions to make sure you (and anything you might hold up) are "in frame". The Flip LCD's are on the back.
If you are making a first-time purchase, feel free to post an "Additional Details" update with your dollar-budget, and I or another Camcorders contributor can make specific model recommendations to choose from.
hope this helps,
