Digital Super 8 Cartridge

They're both not quite right. The BMPCC shoots like a prototype IMO. The controls were hardly thought out at all, and the battery choice is odd to say the least. The camera badly needs an update to give it a stop or two better low light noise, but even more than that, better ergonomic controls. There was way too much menu diving to do something as simple as change ISO or shutter speed. It could also use a tilting high resolution display so you can fine focus. While I'm dreaming, why not throw in 2.5k! :-)

 

I like the Bolex's design a lot more both functionally and of course in form. I like that it's native C mount, and they developed their own lens line. I think it was really smart to make a monochrome only camera too. If somebody put them both in front of me and told me I had to choose, I'd pick the D16. I mean this IS the Super 8 forum so it's not like we're all about practicality here. ;) My 4008ZM 'Classic Pro' modified arrives tonight! Can't wait to make some mooooovies.
