Nizo 801 macro

Post by copefan »

I'm thinking of buying an 801 macro as i've been told they are a great camera.... I know Nizo's are as i've had an S56 for years but I now need a second camera for filming. I've got a Canon 814XL and a Canon 1014 but that's given up (anyone know a good UK repairer!)..... and the 814xl is OK but not fantastic.... So are the 801's worth the money?

Does anyone have a pdf of the manual so I can take a peek before shelling out £200 or should I just go and buy one! Never had one for the S56

I don't have the macro version but have the s800 and s801. Great cameras.

I'm so happy with my 801M as it has a very bright viewfinder, and also it's fade, dissolve and slow function... Very good camera.
When my life finish, every single frame of my films loop my thought…

That's a lot of $ USD, but I guess it depends on the condition whether it's worth it. I love mine, but bought it in "non-working condition" and fixed it. I think I paid $75. It's my favorite camera unless I'm shooting K40 (Bauer 715 XL-S).
