Pretty fricken dope. Works great. Use the 4x3 for the full sensor. Wish the mic worked a little better, but I wasn’t gonna pull audio anyways!

A lot of fun, but fairly bulky. Definitely needs a strap or something to carry around.

Best digital super* I have tried
on September 29, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
I am a photographer/ videographer, I work both in analogue and digital, I purchased the CS-8 and have really enjoyed using it. I have shot super 8 film cameras before and the form and feel of the camera is nearly perfect to a 1970's super 8 camera. The image quality is great too. I keep mine set on the 4:3 aspect ratio. The colour settings are great too, the Vintage 1 colour mode it very retro feeling. If there are a few things I would like to have on the camera is the ability to change frame rate. 16-18 24fps. As that reflects a true film experience. Also the ability to add a filter to the front lens housing. The digital zoom is not the best and I just don't use it. As for low light, I shot indoors with average lights and was pleased with the footage The camera is a fun and exciting addition to my collection. The simplicity of use and the real experience of shooting with a camera in the super 8 format is wonderful. Thanks CampSnap!

Super fun and surprisingly well-crafted
on September 27, 2025

LOVING this fun new faux Super 8! It's a blast! Very solid-feeling. The analog dials are very well thought-out and useful. (I love the ones that show battery life and disk space). The different filters are super fun, too. My favorite is the one that mimics dust and fuzz. The trigger shutter is awesome, because other than turning the camera on and setting the aspect ratio and filter, you just hold the trigger and film, releasing to stop. I can rollerskate, drive, do all the things, without endangering myself to film! This camera was worth the wait!

Missing an easy function
on September 27, 2025
Posted by: Mac
Love everything about it… except. They thought if everything from the old cameras except a “stay on” function. Someone has to hold the button down to film. The old camera button had a slide to it to stay on. Simple. I mean, why provide a screw hold for a tripod but no hold on method. Who will attach this to a tripod, and have to stand next to it to hold the button down. Very odd.
