Hi, I would suggest using a Firewire connection instead of USB for time-lapse. To save money, You can pick a cheap Digital 8 Camera for next to nothing which outputs pretty good quality. I use both S8 and D8. Hope this helps Emerson J

Hi, Well my goof. It looked like a arri st from this angle. But at a closer look, yup! IIc. A great little camera. I've always dreamed of owning one. I guess we can keep debating about S8 vs 16mm but either way, it's all real film in the end. I am starting to worry though, Kodak (Toronto) has decided to close it's plant. That really sucks. Not sure what we're gonna do without them? "I love the purrr of running film" Em

Hi, I'm new to this group just wanted to say hello. But I have one question. Why is George in the Super 8 Only section pictured with a Arri 16 mm camera and mentions that he used to shoot S8 when started? Sorry but I'm kinda confused.:) In reply to the person who mentioned that S8 can look better than 16mm, I think it's best to say that it can look as good as 16mm. As for matching with 16mm, with all the new Vision stocks available. I've seen some pretty good results so far. Beaulieu 6008-9008 w/ang or snid lense 6-70, and or any Pro Nizo, Canon 1/4 BPM filter, and 1/2 Soft Grad depending on the situation Ectrachhrome 160 puled 1-stop(over exp 1 stop), K-40 or the new Neg stocks Rank Cintel to Digibeta at Cinepost And of course proper lighting and exposure As for sync I 've shot quite a few shorts, Music Videos with those Pro-8 cameras mentioned above, they can stay in sync pretty damn good for a wild motor. I've been shooting for over 20 years S8, 16mm and now Prosumer-DV Wow! what a great time for choices:) Em
