Almost seven years ago, Kodak announced that it would soon be offering a digitally enabled movie camera that shot on good ol' analog Super 8-mm film. Well, it's taken a while, but prospective buyers can now reserve a Kodak Super 8 Camera of their very own.
The idea is super cool for a hobbyist, but that price is batshit crazy.
Great features:
That’s a cool product. But it is not a $5,000 product. You can get a professionally refurbished Super8 for $3-500, and even cheaper if you’re willing to risk it on eBay. Those extra features are not worth the upgrade price.
I was hoping something like this would get popular to bring down the cost of processing, but this is not going to expand the market at all.
