Sorry, I've been away terrorising the Scots. Most people have answered the reasons why it is not a good idea. I would only add that the camera will also record projector noise (assuming the 8mm is silent) as well as the picture. It's just a lot less fuss to have it done. If I were _really_ desperate to do it myself, I would look online for a secondhand transfer machine. You might be able to pick one up, do the job and resell it for quite a small final outlay.
