The Kodak Super 8 Camera is unique. It’s also pretty hard to come by, which makes B&H’s review unique on its own. The superstore’s crew put the camera through its paces in what might be the first independent, hands-on review of the Kodak Super 8. The camera combines analog Super 8 capture with digital monitoring and sound recording, setting it apart from vintage Super 8 cameras. B&H’s review shares the Kodak Super 8 footage taken in various ambient conditions and settings – from the sunny streets of New York City to the darkness of a subway station, from direct sunlight flairs to the effects of rendering neon lights on the analog media. The video also reviews the camera’s unique workflow, which sets it apart from other Super 8 options. The Kodak Super 8 uses a hybrid system, mixing analog and digital mechanics into one tool. While visual capture is strictly analog, the camera records digital audio (only 16-bit), which is synced in post. Additionally, the Kodak Super 8 stands out for its digital LCD screen as its main (and only) means of frame indication (though bear in mind it doesn’t indicate exposure), as it is the only Super 8 camera that uses one. The LCD-based operation will enable vari-angle shooting, and the contemporary menu system should ease the pain of getting into analog filmmaking.
