Legendary Super 8mm sound Vintage Film Camera for Filmmakers. Features the Canon Zoom Lens C-8 6.5-65mm f/1.4, designed for shooting in diverse lighting conditions with its XL (eXisting Light) optics. Equipped with variable frame rates (10, 18, and 24 fps), automatic and manual exposure settings, and an advanced sound recording system with tone control and microphone inputs, this camera is a prized tool for both collectors and creatives.
This comes complete with the manuals, lens cap & shade, external battery pack, boom microphone, and all the original boxes. I purchased this camera new as a film student from Frank's Camera in Los Angeles. The camera does not show any visible signs of wear, except for the coiled microphone cable which has oxidized over time, but seems to still work fine. The last time I used this camera it still ran beautifully.
The Canon 1014XL-S is the ultimate choice for analog filmmakers seeking a classic Super 8 camera with versatile features and exceptional build quality. This vintage masterpiece delivers an authentic film experience and stunning image quality, making it a valuable asset for creative projects and vintage film collections.
As 8mm movie cameras became increasingly computerized, this model became the world’s first 8mm movie camera to use a one-chip CPU. The CPU allowed electronic sequence control of the camera. The lens, a newly developed zoom lens with a wider-angle orientation, achieved both high performance and compactness. The world’s first superimposed viewfinder display showed superimposed information in the viewfinder only when necessary. Multiple functions and safety mechanisms, such as automatic lap dissolve or interval shooting, were applied to satisfy the needs of advanced amateurs. SPC (Silicon Photo Cell) was used for the photocell and it, together with a five-blade iris diaphragm, produced highly precise images with beautiful bokeh (pleasing out-of-focus highlights). This model could be called “the pinnacle of Canon 8mm movie cameras.”
