  1. The Fairchild 900...200ft spool camera was introduced at Photokina in Jan. 1965...the same month Super 8 format was introduced. I recall reading about the new Fairchild camera but never realized they went into production until I read your initial post. I figured Fairchild gave up with the introduction of new format ....anyway, Fairchild never introduced another camera. The sound system this camera used was new, Hall Sensor System and the patent was sold to Kodak who used it in their first super 8 sound camera which did not come out til 1973.
