[Frameworks] New Kodak super-8 camera

[Super8 Reversal Lab]

There is a lack of skilled super8 camera repair men around in Europe. If one of my super8 camera's breaks I have no where to go (except with a Beaulieu, there is Bjorn in Sweden).

This Kodak camera (despite all the negatives that come with it) is a step towards a solution to keep the super8 film format alive. And I thank Kodak for putting that on the market. I compare that with Tesla. Now more car makers build an electric car. This Kodak camera could potentially lead to a cheaper and better version with service included all over the world.

I read a lot of negatitvity on the internet, and I understand the comments, but this is one way to keep shooting super8. Not everyone can buy an electric car either.

Onderwerp: Re: [Frameworks] New Kodak super-8 camera

Overpriced, dumb design, no optical viewfinder. Too noisy for sync sound despite the audio capabilities (which any smartphone could equal).

Designed by non-filmmakers.  I think some rental houses might buy a couple, but I doubt it will succeed.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has checked out Kodak’s new S8 camera? It seems to have some interesting features such as sound recording to WAV files, C mount for lenses, a possible 14:9 aspect ratio and a flip out viewing screen (I actually prefer through the lens focusing, but whatevs).
