Heya, Yeah, I did get the impression that the 5008s is more robust. The thing that really seems to undo it in my eyes is that it only does 18 and 24 fps (although the multispeed version does have 8 and 45 fps...)...I need a reasonably flexible camera with slow motion. Let's not get personal about ca...

Heya,

I own a 6080 and as far as I know it doesn't have a variable shutter. Am I missing something?

Definitive list of Ebay questions

Heya all, As we are all probably aware, ebay sellers can be as slippery as eels when it comes to "not knowing" anything about the product and its condition. However, in my experience, if you ask them a direct question, they are unlikely to lie. Just thought it would be a good idea if betwe...

heya, hate to be cynical, but I did have my suspicions - especially after I saw their "Hall of Fame". Notice Jim Threapleton's name - billed in the press as a "Film Director", but actually famous at nothing other than having been married to Kate Winslet. Basstruc, you should've p...

heya,

the way it's listed on amazon does seem to suggest so. I don't think it's even been published yet. Further evidence of a super 8 resurgence????

Sssshhhh! Keep it quiet! The Elmo 1012 is excellent camera and TWO of them went for around this price. I would've bought one but they both said they'd only ship to the US; and I spend far too much on cameras. Did you buy one of the ones I was looking at? How did you persuade them to ship to the UK a...

Heya all,

Does anyone know of place to get Giles Musitano's A Guide to Super 8 Filmmaking cheaply? It's listed on Amazon at 20 quid!

Cheers

Heya, Yeah, I reckon it probably sounded worse than you meant it - but equally, I wasn't really pissed off or anything!! Not a huge problem really. I've read what other people have said about how the Widescreen centre is a good resource to have - and I must admit I went down there recently and bough...

I never said that it wasn't shot on digital! They used the "shutter speed" setting on the Canon XL-1 (although as far as I know digital cameras don't have shutters.....) And it ISN'T all shot on digital. Alan Doyle, who posts on this site worked on the film shooting super 8. I believe it m...

Heya all, A bit off topic but does Martin ever post on this site or even read it? His would be an interesting opinion to have... Also, do you know yet what he's intending to use it for?

Heya all, 28 Days Later does seem to have polarised opinion somewhat. I enjoyed it - but the only thing I thought was at truly exceptional was the way it was shot: there was one particular one with a zombie walking through the rain. They'd done it with a really fast shutter speed, so you could see i...
