From Jourdan Aldrege at NoFilmSchool, we have a review and this first footage and it looks great, but this camera is still completely ridiculously priced. For a Super 8 Camera to be over $6000 seems a little ridiculous at this point.
This is completely insane! While it is cool to have a new high tech Super 8 Camera, for it to cost $5495 is literally nuts! You can get a fully rigged out blackmagic camera for that!
One of the surprise announcements of CES this year was Kodak’s very cool new Super 8 Camera! It will be $400 and $50 for a cartridge of film that you send and will be processed and that includes a digital scan as well! And it records sound to SD card.
Not only is this cool because most thought this format was mostly dead, except for Pro 8 Film (which crazily will do up to 5K scans).
I hope this gets some use at Film Schools, though I bet most have moved to digital.
