I doubt I'd be considered an old-timer (under 35!) <grin> but the other camera 
I know about from my toy collecting is the Fisher-Price Pixelvision camcorder 
from about 1989(?).  I wanted one of these at the time but was a photo student 
and poor!

Price is going up on this one though as lots of people want it from filmmakers 
to Fisher-Price collectors.
