Super 8mm - looking to buy

[DBoz699]

Hey,

I'm looking to buy a super 8mm camera. I live in north New Jersey. Does anyone own a super 8mm camera that actually works and would be willing to sell it? I'm almost broke so anything in the triple digits is questionable but I'll try to see if I can make exceptions if the camera is worth it. I need a super 8mm camera for a film I'm working on.


Thanks.

It's film...the cameras made in the 60's hold up better than any MiniDV camera made a few years ago would. Just check eBay, there's a ton of them there - if you're not looking for anything special (variable frame rate, etc.) then most any will get you what you need. I've got a Canon AutoZoom 814 Electronic, it's a great higher level Super8 camera that doesn't really command a higher level price. Hope that helps.
