Re: Another new Super8 camera?
The drawing and rendering suggest a camera having a build-quality not seen since the Arriflex DS8 camera. It'd be wonderful to have another Super 8 camera debut in 2017, but this one might make the Logmar look like a bargain.

There was an Arri DS8!!!! Where can I find info about this camera?
Re: Another new Super8 camera?
In the late 1960s or early 1970s, Arriflex built several prototype DS8 format cameras based on the 16 St. I expect the response was such that further development wasn't warranted. I don't have more information at hand.JeremyC wrote:There was an Arri DS8!!!! Where can I find info about this camera?

It was 77 or 78, that Arri showed a prototype pro super 8 camera at Photokina....but by then the video revolution had begun ...and super 8 had started a rapid downward spiral. Never went into production.
Re: Another new Super8 camera?
Arriflex introduced the 16 SR in 1975, so it's surprising a DS8 camera based on the 16 St would be shown as late as '77 or '78.Tommy wrote:It was 77 or 78, that Arri showed a prototype pro super 8 camera at Photokina....but by then the video revolution had begun ...and super 8 had started a rapid downward spiral.
