The two camera I really like are the Canon Auto Zoom 814 Electronic, and the Nikon Super Zoom 8x. These are really good camera for a low price. The Canon Auto Zoom 814 Electronic. Is my favorite. I got mine off Ebay for $50. It has a very sharp lens, and the macro is incredible! I can get so close to an object it is touching the lens and it is still in focus. Manual/Auto Exposure control. It also has variable shutter speed, and frame speeds are 1,18, 24 and 40fps for Slow motion. Nikon Super Zoom 8x is an excellent camera for the price. I got mine for $25. A lot of people overlook this camera because if it's old school design. But is a really good super8 camera. It has an excellent lens that produce a very sharp image. Its frame speeds are 1, 18 and 24fps. Also has Manual and Auto Exposure. Plus it's built like a army tank. Definitely one you should consider if your on at tight budget.

Interesting topic. There is a program called “8mm2avi” it’s a program to convert 8mm films using a scanner to AVI file. Has anyone here ever used this program? I downloaded it, but found out I don’t have the right scanner and it’s resolution is way to low. Plus you need a tremendous amount of patience, because you to can only scan a small strip of film at a time. Then the program removes the frames from the scanned image and puts it all together into a AVI file. Neat idea, but I’m not sure how well this method would work.

Here you go, the online Canon 310XL Instruction Manual I got one to. It's a great little camera. :)
