Super 8, Too Good to Be True

Can’t get rid of addiction of traditional film camera and still feel like some fashionable elements? Perhaps Kodak “Super 8” is the solution to the answer.

At CES 2016, a new generation camera appeared and refreshed the world of photography. Kodak, as we know, a company with great tradition, has released a film camcorder. The design of Super 8 film camcorder is modern, but relatively traditional; it has microphone, HDMI, USB, and a flip screen. Interestingly, Super 8 requires traditional films, but you can still find micro SD slot in it. To be detailed, the images are recorded by the film, while the sounds are recorded by the memory card.
