The Kodak Super8 Revival Initiative reaches far beyond the introduction of a new camera. The company has built a roadmap that includes a range of cameras, film development services, post production tools and more. “It is an ecosystem for film” said Jeff Clarke, Eastman Kodak Chief Executive Officer. “Following the 50th anniversary of Super 8, Kodak is providing new opportunities to enjoy and appreciate film as a medium.” … // From: „Kodak Launches Super 8 Filmmaking Revival Initiative at CES 2016“ (LAS VEGAS, N.V., Tuesday, January 05, 2016), http://www.kodak.com/ek/US/en/corp/Press_center/Kodak_Launches_Super_8_Filmmaking_Revival_Initiative_at_CES_2016/default.htm // http://www.kodak.com/ek/US/en/consumer/Product/ProductResource/?producttaxid=4294969683 // https://www.instagram.com/p/BALUn9VOZ82/

„CES 2016: Die Rückkehr des Super-8-Films“ (07.01.2016)
Kodak will die erste neue Super-8-Kamera mit einem 6-mm-Objektiv (Blende f/1,2) ausstatten, optional ist ein Zoomobjektiv 6 bis 48 mm vorgesehen. Die Kamera soll Film in Kassetten mit 15 Metern belichten, mit 9, 12, 18, 24 oder 25 Bildern pro Sekunde. Völlig analog arbeitet die Kamera aber nicht: Als Sucher kommt ein 3,5 Zoll-Bildschirm zum Einsatz, der Ton wird digital aufgezeichnet. Belichtetes Material bekommt der Filmer nach der Entwicklung des Filmstreifens analog, aber auch als digitale Version der Aufnahme bereitgestellt. … Kodak will die neue Super-8-Kamera in einer limitierten Auflage herstellen. Exklusiv ist daher auch der Preis: Zwischen 400 und 750 US-Dollar soll sie kosten – und im Herbst 2016 auf den Markt kommen. …

„Kodak is Bringing Back the Super 8 as a Film Camera with Digital Features“ Michael Zhang (06.01.2016)
Kodak doesn’t intend for this new Super 8 camera to be a one-and-done deal — the company has built an entire roadmap and ecosystem that includes a range of cameras, film development services, post-production tools, and more. If this ecosystem does gain traction, then 2016 will be the year that the Super 8 camera was brought back from its long slumber. …

Kerensky97 Mihir • 16 hours ago: Disagree. Is there an official term for this kind of styling yet?
Faux-Retro? Neo-Hipster? And it always comes from film companies trying to resurrect the past, First Polaroid, now Kodak.

Matt Dana • 20 hours ago: I’m from Rochester, home of Kodak. If their film division somehow turns things around and becomes the catalyst of a Kodak revival, that will literally be the last thing I expected to happen. …

Andrew Iverson • 20 hours ago: My biggest problem with this idea has always been „Where do you develop it?“. Looks like they went back to the original idea that you send it back to them, like the first Kodaks. Pretty good idea, curious how it will be in practice.

SZ, (12. January 2016): “ … Wie einstmals wird man die Entwicklung beim Erwerb einer Super-8-Filmkassette gleich mitkaufen und erhält den entwickelten Film mit der Post geschickt.

„Kodak’s Old-School Response to Disruption“ David Sax (January 27, 2016)
Beyond the technical specs, Kodak’s new camera is impressive for its chutzpah. The company introduced the Super 8 as a simple and affordable way to shoot motion pictures, essentially creating the home movie. But with the introduction, in the nineteen-eighties, of videotape, which was even simpler, less expensive, and more adaptable, Super 8 sales rapidly declined, and its prestige eroded for all but a few diehard fans. The same could be said for film as a whole. Kodak’s name has become a byword for discarded analog industries—the company invented the digital camera, then ignored it until, in 2012, competition from digital bankrupted it. Yet at C.E.S., Kodak generated more buzz than most other companies—the new Super 8 was featured, for example, on the “Tonight Show”—with a device that is neither fundamentally groundbreaking nor even especially new. …
