During CES 2016, Kodak plans to resurrect its Super 8 format via the launch of a new Kodak Super 8 camera, one that will blend analog and digital technologies. Following that announcement was at the new Super 8 camera during CES 2017, but an actual product launch is still forthcoming. Getting us closer to that point is Kodak's latest update on the project: it's showcasing footage recorded with the Super 8 camera during CES 2018.The new Kodak Super 8 camera is a hybrid of sorts, pairing a 3.5' LCD 'viewfinder' with an 8mm film cartridge for a simultaneous digital and analog experience. A control wheel is paired with the display for controlling the camera in lieu of touchscreen functionality or manual controls. This is joined by a Ricoh 6mm F1.2 prime lens and C-mount compatible with additional lenses.True to its hybrid nature, the new Kodak Super 8 camera also features an integrated SD card slot; audio is recorded to the media card, whereas the film cartridge is mailed to Kodak after recording is finished. After developing the film, Kodak mails it back to the customer, and also uploads the content to the cloud where the customer can download a digitized version.As noted by Cinema5D, Kodak also released about a month ago with an update on the Super 8 project.
A firm launch date and price haven't yet been provided, but the Kodak Super 8 camera is expected to launch this year at a price between $2,500 and $3,000 USD.Via. With such a hefty price tag on the camera itself (that will surely drop down if S-8 film making picks up again and competition kicks in with cheaper models) i'm guessing the price of S-8 film will be AT LEAST $100 per cartridge.used to do S-8 shooting on an almost regular basis from the mid-1970s into late 1980s, when home video was surely getting more popular already while S-8 fun had not died totally yet. And it cost less than doing VHS or Betamax for say, weddings.before going extinct and replaced by video, had quite a number of still unexplored areas with this medium but the cost of film material, processing and the price of camera, projector and other related stuff (splicer, editing device etc) weren't quite affordable although much less costly than this latest offering by Kodak!i WOULD be using this again if i could afford it though. And if the new film cartridge fits old cameras, then i know of great S-8 cameras and equipment that are still usable now. You could/should have used Super 16mm film from the late 1960s instead. That was in 'European theatrical widescreen' 1.66:1 aspect ratio, so not too different from HDTV's and UHDTV's and Quad-UHDTV's 1.78:1 AR. And if you kept the negs or reversals in temperature and humidity controlled lab condition since you had them developed.
You could stills trike a pretty decent UHD / 4K resolution digital copy from your legacy analog S16mm film stock.No so with regular 8mm, Super 8, or even with 9.5mm narrow gauge film formats, unfortunately. No, never used S-16 but did work as assistant to director / cameraman / film crew on a few regular 16mm short feature films back in the day.read somewhere though that there were very expensive scanners (not telecine) in the 1970s for regular 8, S-8 and other film formats that could produce very high quality film to video (and possibly film to film?) copies, with color / contrast adjustment and correction possible using such scanners.presently, there are a couple of brands such as Volwerine that produce really fine quality 8/s-8 (and i think 9.5mm as well) film to digital scanning. You can find their results on YouTube for example and they're very good although the device itself doesn't look very complex. Doesn't cost much either.
Yes, too much but it'll drop for either of the two reasons below:1. The 'new' format becomes so popular competition produces much cheaper (and possibly better!) models2. No one will take it seriously and Kodak goes bankrupt (again!) in that department and has to liquidate all units madewas going to say in case of a bankruptcy, Kodak might be able to dump this product in some poor 3rd world country.but considering how EVERYBODY around the world owns some kind of a smartphone equipped with an ultra-super high-res 6000 billion pixels camera and some editing programs to go with them FREE to make their selfies eternal, i don't think that would be such a good idea after all.;-).
All points stated very well as i have had a similar experience with this format in the past myself too. However, the image quality of this 'new' film material is going to be far better than the old version because now people would shoot in film but edit in digital, which means the original 'file' on film won't be touched much and will stay spotless and without many scratches. (there's already a Super-8 film digitizer device out there at a reasonable price people may be willing to buy and use at home. And surely the lab processing the S-8 film would be giving its digitized file as well, just as photography film labs do.)and couldn't agree more with the return of the Kodachrome film material, preferably @ both ISO-25 as well as in higher ratings AND in larger formats too!:-). Price is way too high.
For all you people that nay say the camera, I've seen some online social platforms using very low fi video content and it had far more engagement then super polished produced video content. I think there is something ethereal about the footage that could be used to break through the digital images we see from iPhones and other high def cameras. I think there is a market from it, and if it was around a grand I'd buy it in a heart beat. They should keep the camera reasonably priced and profit from the film. I still think there is room for film to make some waves this day in age. As equally illusionary as our belief that this prolific modern digital media, even if we manage to preserve for half the hundred year lifespan of properly stored film, will matter to our progeny or anyone else?I shoot modern day digital every day, more or less, for one reason or another.
But when it's family movie night, do we get out the miniDV tapes? Out comes the shimmering super 8mm. It isn't 1080p but in decades ahead, it will still project.Digital is by far and away cheaper and technically better. No argument there. But analog movies projected on a screen (or a draped white sheet) have a certain substance when it's your kids and other family, which is lacking in the digital domain. Difficult to explain, but it's real. Look, people can cry and whine about this thing all they want, but to me it's clear that it'll become a hit.
The promotional video is all kinds of awesome, associated to big names and brands, and if the kids watch other, older kids pointing Super 8 cameras and producing massively hipster content at trendy locations, they'll want their own as well.No, it's not a GH5, but, damn! Those 'Kodak' people DO know how to market a video cam - much better than Panasonic have ever been able to over their corporate lives, anyway. I suspect this will find a niche among some buyers as people do their darndest to differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack.Perhaps I'm not an artist, but it seems that there are so many people doing video/photo today that individual 'vision' ( or should I say schticks) is/are becoming the sole differentiator. When everyone with basic skill sets has the rudimentary ability to shoot and instantly share reasonably good, stabilized, edited and filtered video/photos directly from their smartphones, one has to find new ways to differentiate oneself from the thundering herd, if only for one's own satisfaction. I have to admit I simply don't get it. Why shoot cine only to have it converted to video?
Cine to digital video conversions are fine for those with old cine collections and who want the convenience of viewing on their pc or tv and who don't want the fuss of using old projectors. And I'd guess that the vast majority of those who may consider this product won't be buying projectors. Digital video is so inexpensive in comparison, has lip synch sound and offers much, much better quality and isn't limited to around 3m 20secs of recording time before needing to change film.For exactly the same reasons why video eventually killed off domestic cine, this product is doomed. The only good thing, potentially, will be the supply of film stock for those who wish to dig out their cherished Super-8 cameras for another outing. But at least they will know what they are letting themselves in for, having been there and done it.
