Noelle,
I have Canon 1014 AZE camera last ten years and this is really great Super 8 camera. Maybe is a little bit complicated for beginners, but when you overcome all its functions you'll be thrilled with her possibilities! Auto and manual aperture working perfect, no problems with E-100D, Vision3 50D, 200T and 500T films, you have variable sector and 10x power-zoom...
The only drawbacks (this is my opinion!) are that 1014 AZE is not well balanced in hand and have a little "soft" picture with her Canon zoom-lens. More precisely, picture is not so clean (and not as detailed) as in (for example) Nizo S56 camera. So, it is understandable, because Nizo S56 has fantastic Schneider-Kreuznach lens...
Anyway, you will not regret if you buy Canon 1014 AZE! This camera is true workhorse for all shooting...
