I have a Canon zr40 that has a built in ad/da converter that does a 
perfect job
in real time.  I've seen it advertized for under $400 US but it is now
discontinued.

Apparently the later zr series, which are the low priced  Canons, 
dropped the
feature but I'm not sure which model is the last to have it.  I know 
the earlier
zr30 didn't have it.   I browsed a bit at a local Best Buy and found 
the feature
on a current Canon Elura (I think it was) but not on the current 
zr-80.  So it
is still out there.

It is not a feature that is usually advertized.  On my zr40 you can 
find it in
the VCR set up menu as "AV*DV Out" but there is no mention of it on 
the outside
of the camera.  In fact it is a full fledged ad/da converter that will 
take
digital signals over the firewire cable and output them in analog in 
real time
too.  Very useful for previewing edited video on a video monitor or 
making
analog tapes.

Apparently there are Sony cameras that have this feature too.  It 
would be very
useful to have a complete list of camera models that have it.
