Does any consumer camcorder to time-lapse movies

Everything I've googled comes up kinda vague.... Do any camcorders
take single frame pictures at regular intervals so that they're speeded
up when played back. It seems simple to do in this day of digital
photography. With a gigabyte memory card, I would think over 100
frames could be stored before writing to permanent media. Does anyone
have a recommendation for a camcorder that does time lapse. I'd prefer
one that can also read my old hi-8 cartridges from a defunct camcorder
from the early 90's.

I have Konica-Minolta A1 still camera which does exactly what you are asking
for. You can set interval from 20 sec to, I believe, 2 hours. You select if
you want movie or just still pictures.
