Hi, Does any one know where to get a super8 transfer to either HD or 2k? I looked at the Pro8mm pricelist and don't see them offered. Can anyone comment on the possible quality difference between HD and 2k for super 8? Thanks;)

So the NPR does have some advantages... interesting! If I plan on converting to S16 it sounds like the NPR is a more solid decision. Due to the ability to maintain the integrity of the design. The ACL sounds like it needs a few more modifications. The down side is the weight and the size. I would really like to be to do handheld shots so the lighter the camera the better. Can anyone comment on the weight/size difference between the NPR and ACL in the case of handheld work?

I just checked into the Aaton LTR 54 and it looks very nice. But might be out of my range. Does this camera come with a video tap? How much does it weigh? Can anyone else comment on this camera? The arri BL from, what I have read, is not as user friendly, heavier and needs blimps to dampen the noise. It doesn't seem worth it compared to the Eclair. As for the Eclairs I would really like to know about some of the differences between the models?

Hi, The Eclair ACL seems to be the cheapest sync sound camera you can buy that actually is quiet enough to use in a practical manner. Does that statement seem correct? If so is it worth spending the extra $1000 or so to get the ACLII? and why? Also how does the Eclair NPR compare? Is there anything else for under $6000 or $7000 dollars that I should consider? Thanks;) P.S. What would be the next logical camera if I spent a bit more?

What do you guys think of this camera on ebay. To me it looks like a good deal? Eclair ACL Super 16 Camera for $2000 Item number: 7528623212 Or is it worth spending $6000 on a perfectly serviced one?
