Danish Company Creates Entirely New 8MM Film Camera!

Quote :

You heard that right. A Danish father/son company, Logmar, has designed the first new 8mm camera model to be made in 30 years. Considering the fact that we recently posted an article about Nolab's concept for a digital Super 8 cartridge that could (hypothetically) one day eliminate the need for film stock in film cameras, this may seem a little ironic. However, with that technology still in its early stages of development, the professional level Logmar Super 8 camera is very real and it's nearly available for those wanting something a more technologically advanced 8mm cam can offer.

The plan is to "upgrade" each Film camera (8/16/S16/Ultra16/35/S35/65/70mm) while making them more economically sensibel to "save" film for industry professionals.

The camera will release "Later 2015." 

I'll buy it - without a doubt! :)
