What ever happened to the Kodak Super 8 camera?

[Alessandro Malfatti]

It's not going to happen, is it?

[Andries Molenaar]

I don't think so. The numbers are too small. No OEM manufacturer can offer a workable price at 2000 pcs max. 

There are also way too many old excellent near-mint cameras which superior features and which don't cost that much.

I have wondered the same. The was many advertising from Kodak about this new fancy camera. But it seems that there was not enough pre orders to start manufacturing. Pity, I kind of liked the idea of lcd viewfinder and the C-mount.

It will be four years next month. Any new news anywhere?

[Andries Molenaar]

Time flies when holding your breath ?

I have no news. I am not expecting it will ever come to production.

There is just no market at a workable price. Logmar sold only 50 with a lot of waiting between orders.  There are so many better proven camera's at less than Euro 500 that a new severely limited ability thing at Euro 2000-3000 will not sell enough to have a production run get past beta models ?

 

Happy New year using a Nikon R10, Canon 1014XLs, Leicina Special et cetera.
