SOT: Canon with your "CHiPs"

While transferring stuff from my old computer to the new I came across these frames grabs I did years ago from an episode of CHiPs.

It took me about two minutes before I realized there was actually a camera in that photo.

Yes there is, in the second photo.

Still looking for the camera in the first photo...

It just hit me that the young lasses in that photo are probably now contemplating their 50th birthdays. Without evidence to the contrary, I conclude that the camera has probably aged better.

When I regained my consciousness and managed to look at the next photo I came to wonder which projector they use to examine the birds from the takes?

Ok, I miscalculated. The girls were a bigger hit than the Canon 814.

The projector looks like a Bell & Howell to me, one of those silent all metal dual 8 models. Also the guys in the second picture are watching the film that the girls shot of Ponch jet skiing. You can tell Ponch doesn't look to happy cause he kept wiping out and they laugh at him. Unfortunately they did not use real Super 8 footage, it was the same old 35mm superimposed on the screen.

I was going to tell a version of the old lipstick on the gearstick joke, but I better not...

Right on the money. I have one of these.

There was another episode of CHiPs where a 8mm clip was referenced in a court room. They showed the same projector showing the footage!
