If you haven't found it already, this site gives a useful summary of the features of various super 8 cameras: http://www.kolumbus.fi/puistot/list.htm The battery thing is pretty much a non issue unless you are somewhere really remote without access to internet shopping... you can get wein cells (mer...

Dang! I thought you wrote Super8man returns....

No, just pathologically deluded.

I'm not a lawyer but I know that people are sued for far less reasonable civil claims and they do reach court, at least here in the U.S. Thus I prefer to err on the side of caution. That we are even discussing what might happen if Angus were to sneak in and pinch shots suggests we all know it isn't...

Will there be a potential problem if you shoot in a cemetary without permission, capture the names visibly on the headstones and then include that footage in a released film? I would say obviously yes. What cause of action recognised in English law can the relatives of the deceased sue on? Or to be...

AFAIK (& I may be wrong) in the UK the legal position regarding cemeteries is very different from the US: grave plots in church / council cemeteries are not conveyed to the family - you pay rather for a right to be buried there, so the family does not have legal ownership of the land, that remai...

There is no law of privacy in the UK, and unless you can prove nuisance or raise a cause of action under the law of confidence and/or harassment etc, you would not be able to prevent someone filming your house (as many celebrities find out on a weekly basis..). The law in the UK is very different fr...

Whilst I agree with Mogzy in that there has to be some cause of action for anyone to sue, I would exercise some caution as there may be specific regulations which should be considered - in the case of Council owned / operated graveyards there is the Local Authorities Cemeteries Order 1977 which gove...

If I recall correctly the 801 needs separate batteries for the lightmeter / aperture control - the compartment is under the handle - you may wish to replace these if you have not already done so, or check the contacts. As for repair places, Sendean cameras in Soho is worth a try - they usually have ...

Who is the lucky dog who scored this one?

Don't give up on it - I had the same problem with a 814xls I picked up cheap - it took a lot of cleaning of the battery contacts to get the thing running. Of course there is always the possibility that the camera is a complete duffer, but in my experience battery contact corrosion is very often the ...

Polarisers work at a certain angle to the sun - I recall the rule of thumb is to make a gun shape with your hand - ie index finger outstretched, thumb pointing up. If you point your finger at the sun, the polariser will show most effect if the lens is aligned along the direction of your thumb (at 90...

Taqi, What is the result for you? You film the night? Well obviously you need some light! But you can get good results out of it - filming city lights works quite well, or well lit shops, cafes etc... make sure you have the xl shutter on the right setting (on the little window symbol if I recall co...
