I've owned my Canon Auto Zoom 518 Super 8 camera since early 2020, and I can recommend them as a good camera if you're looking at getting into super 8 filmma.. The Canon Zoom 518 was the company's first ever Super 8 camera and it's typically excellent for the brand. The lens is sharp and easy to focus and features a flexible 9.5-47.5mm zoom range. The camera meters from IS0 16-100 for daylight balanced films and ISO 25-160 for tungsten films. We do not recommend Kodak Visio
The Canon 518 super 8 camera, introduced in December 1964, was one of the first on the market and still is a very decent, versatile and affordable camera. It runs on 18 fps and slow motion (around 36 fps), has a sharp and fast lens: F1.8, 5-times electric zoom 9.5 to 47.5mm and auto/manual aperture setting.. This is a 25 minute video I made detailing my vintage Canon Auto Zoom 518 Super 8 film camera along with my C-8 Tele-converter lens and an unopened 1979 expi.
