I'm doubtful this camera will be launched at all. And if it does and becomes a commercial success - I hereby profess that I am a two-headed unicorn and will change my profile signature to reflect as much.
Kodak has been VERY shady this past week. They need to pull this camera off if they are to retain even a modicum of respectability.
Yeah I see the hipster vinyl, they like to play it on a portable record player. As I type this an idea just came to mind. They could have these player connects to the internet and the player read and figure out which album it is and then play the music from ITune.
I believe it has been reported that the Super 8 camera was not at CES. Only the bitcoin mining machines.

Yes, and did you notice that the mining machines didn't even have proper Kodak logos on them? The deal with Spotlite came together awfully quickly...
Consider the vinyl resurgence that everybody (including the Wall Street Journal) was trumpeting in 2016 and early-2017.
Well <POOF> it's gone now and that had much lower entry costs than the Super 8 camera.

You get both a digital file and your film back.I think when you send them the film to process you won't get it back so there is no need for a projector.

Well try and soldier on. Our thoughts are with you.Be still my foolish heart! If I wanted both I would have spent $60,000US for a Hasselblad digital back. Instead I have had to do with taking month long trips to France and Greece as we as long visits to Canada and Hawaii. Woe is me!

You're an inspiration to us all.It is a tough life, but someone has to live it.
I have a question though. Would the new Super 8 cartridge fit standard Super 8 camera? I would much rather shoot using an old but high quality Super 8 camera.

This year's $2500-$3000 camera or 2016's $400-$700 camera? Has the market changed since it was originally introduced.The new Super 8 Camera isn’t aimed at the users of this Forum. Google ‘university student film competition’ to get an idea of the worldwide activity at the university level creating films. This seems to be the market it is aimed at.
To get students started using film (instead of the video devices they have grown up with), the quality and features are of most importance. A cheap camera that lacks the needed quality and features would be worthless.This year's $2500-$3000 camera or 2016's $400-$700 camera? Has the market changed since it was originally introduced.
As far as I can tell it's the same camera they are selling; they just didn't have a clue how much it would actually cost when they introduced it.To get students started using film (instead of the video devices they have grown up with), the quality and features are of most importance.

Read the blog. Among other things, they have found the camera needs an improved film transport mechanism. There are other changes as well. It's not the old Kodak that I retired from 25 years ago, that was loaded with experts. They are having to learn as they go. Give them a chance.As far as I can tell it's the same camera they are selling; they just didn't have a clue how much it would actually cost when they introduced it.
I've read the blog. I understand they have to reinvent the wheel.Read the blog. Among other things, they have found the camera needs an improved film transport mechanism.
