This camera is so cool!
on October 9, 2025
Posted by: Paul S.
This camera is so cool! It really feels like the old Super-8 cine cameras (my dad had one) and it is a similar experience in use. The analog meters are quirky but functional. The switches are crisp, except the camera trigger, which lacks any feel and therefore you're not sure if it is recording or not. There is a recording indicator in the viewfinder, but - as with the other viewfinder information - hard to read while observing the scene you're filming. Also, the markings on the switches are tiny and very thin, making it difficult to read the settings.
Finally, what is sorely missing is a lens cap. As the lens has no inner lip to accept a clip-on lens cap you'll need to find one that fits the 55mm outer diameter of the lens.

We love it! We just took it on a fall break vacation and it was exactly the right thing to capture our moments without being glued to our phones. The quality is amazing!

To start off, thanks for such a great product! I have shot a couple hours of footage and love the results. Just shot footage of a live band and they are looking to get a music video from it!! Wooohooo!!
Easy to use and handle, lightweight, nibble, and didn’t get fatigued after hours of handling it. Shoot-N-Go, Shoot-N-Go, Shoot-N-Go!! I Love It!!

Suggestions for 8 Pro:
1- A true cold-shoe mount on top.
2- Smoother/Slower Zoom In/Out.
3- External mic input.
4- ExtraCredit-Lens that can Focus.

I jumped in and bought two on the per-orders and glad I did. Keep up the innovations!!!

Posted by: Angry S.
The concept of this is great. For me this is what I was looking for something that grabs nostalgia vibes and works like a Super 8. There's 3 things I think you could tweak and it would be better. 1. Make a fish eye attachment for it and market it towards people that film skateboarding/snowboarding that would grab them. 2. Include a strap for it so that it is easy to mount up and sling over my shoulder. 3. Lens cap. I am so paranoid this thing will get scratched. Otherwise I'm content with what I paid for what I got and have been playing around with it for a week now.

Still experimenting with it. Hoping to be able to use for creative b-roll for academic level video productions. Close-up and in good lighting it performs adequately. Wish there were more vintage type filters to choose from.

Got my CS-8! I love the experience of shooting it. Sound is not the best though. But it‘s really making me go out there and shoot videos. One needs a steady hand when using this.

Video quality better than expected. . .

. . . it has vintage using/looking vibe I hoped for, yet adaption of framerate & photo mode eg would be cool if they can be added in future updates. So far it does everything I expected, in a vcery fun way to use, which was the main reason of my purchase
