FILM TESTED Canon 814 XL Electronic Super-8 movie camera

A lovely example of one of the most sought-after Super-8 cameras - nice clear viewfinder and lens and XL shutter for low light capability.

The Canon Museum has full details of the specifications at 814XL Electronic - Canon Camera Museum.

This is one 3rd generation (out of 4) of the Canon 814 series.

See the gallery for a test film shot with this camera. 

In full working order, this camera has a very nice fader function and a beautiful f/1.4 8x zoom lens.

The controls on the left have settings for dull light (using the widest 220-degree shutter angle), and bright light using a 150-degree shutter angle. 

Takes 4x AA batteries.

This has been fully tested and all functions are working correctly.

Has a folding hand grip (holding the batteries) that folds up when not in use for easier portability.

Condition 

• Body in good condition with minor scuffs from use
• In full working order.
