Digicart for 35mm has a half point in my view but will likely not happen because there hardly enough buyers and ever shrinking

For S8 even more. There are HUGE disadvantages compared to 35mm. One is the age and wear og cams, limited maintenance/servicepoints - ever shrinking and i doubt anyone would spend money on old cams. Buy another one maybee

Lack of electronic wievfinder which would be near to necessary for optimum results. Then, if, you are on the step to a vide photo dealer for a very good HD cam regarding to the costs.

I will be very surpriced if we se it ever.

Remember Dave's recent new design high tech electronically controlled 60m magazine? No suxess, possibly mostly due to bad image stability if i remember correctly.

I think wittner still sells 60m spools of S8 film - at thar time K40 as well.

Well, anyway....

shoot......
