Chinon New S8 HD Cam. Not much bigger than a Fuji Single 8 cartridge.

About $830 or a little less in €.

There were more fun stuff there too - a film cartridge like the Instanmatic 110? photo camera looking like the Kodak Photo cam cartridge using 16mm film for photo but here was only the film cartridge which was the digital photo camera.
