It is available on both the Sony VX-700 (I have a spare, if interested...;-),
and the VX-1000, though I prefer not to use them that way. It shoots 4-5
frames at a time, and recycles the tape loading each time - which would
seem to be rather hard on the mechanism... The interval time can be set
on the camcorder.
