Camcorder feature name?

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?

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:

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):

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!


Good Camcorder?
Q. I need a good camcorder that has a very good quality and is also able to take pictures (5+ megapixels). Also, it would be good if it was small and around or below $300. thanks

A. Check out:

http://www.crutchfield.com

for comparisons between camcorders and prices. Once you've found the model you desire, look in the Sunday newspaper for ads at Circuit City, Comp USA, etc. until you find the best price. Crutchfield is usually a little more expensive, but does have great comparison tables and other customer support. Good luck.

Oh, I like the Panasonics (Matsushita) because I'm used to their format and find them to be very dependable.
