Disadvantages of using a Super 8

There are many disadvantages of using a Super 8 camera, some are listed below:

• Hard to find the correct film
• Not available new or from retail
• more compact cameras available
• better quality cameras available
• have to shoot on film rather than tape or memory
• non-interchangeable lenses
• no internal mic

As you can see the list of disadvantages goes, however for small  film projects where you are trying out new techniques of filming they are great.


But in the case of filming fairly high budget shoots on a professional level which my client will be doing, a more moder, better quality camera such as the 'Red One' which be a more appropriate camera.
