KODAK has announced a new Super 8 film camera and is being praised by the likes of Tarrantino and Spielberg to just name a few .
What I found fascinating about the comments from Speilberg and countless others are my own feelings about digital vs analog .
Digital is great but there's nothing quite like film !
Anyone caring to read about these interesting comments from some big names in the film industry can find them at KODAK.COM .

I remember using the standard eight film and then moving to the Super eight as it was called in those days.
Thank you for the link.

I just wish it would be a higher quality camera, I would consider getting one! ( I still have 3 of them and a stockpile of lenses)!

It's not all that high quality but it does have an EVF and when you send the film to Kodak for processing you get video file.

I hope it has a f/1.2 zoom lens like the one I used back in 1973.

My father had a Kodak 8mm camera. If you had one of those you were a little famous in the neighborhood. My father had an 8mm movie projector with a stand up screen. He would invite the kids over to see themselves in the movies. To everyone's delight, including me. That was a long time ago, but those 8mm days were fun.

have been well aware of the movie industry's desire to use film in movie making. the two gentlemen you mentioned are among a group of film directors who pushed Kodak to continue making 35mm and 120mm movie film for their work.

there are many great 8mm film cameras on the secondary market, bruan nizo, canon, leica, minolta and pailard bolex, to name a few. brilliant cameras and stunning lenses, especially for the bolex.
students in SIU Carbondale, in the movie courses use 8mm film. this is a serious program for movie makers, many of which are immediately employed by the film industry. the program is also supported by a number of the industry's top movie makers, and works as a way to get graduates into the industry.
