While I'm thrilled to know that Kodak will be producing a new Super 8mm camera, at the end of the day it's still all about digital and that's what's rather disappointing for me. Don't get me wrong I love this, but I'd be even happier if they also produced a new Regular 8/Super 8/Max 8 projector. Otherwise, for most users (if they use Kodak Vision 3) it still ends up as digital. If I shoot on negative, give me back the negative, and charge me extra if I want positive prints as well. Otherwise I might as well just shoot digital video and use a "filter" for the Super 8 look in post. I also am not really fond of the electronic viewfinder only set up. It would be nice to have an optical viewfinder in addition to the electronic one. Still, I'm glad this is happening. No, I'm elated this is hapening, actually, and the question about projectors was asked at CES, and it was said by the Kodak rep that a new projector was not ruled out.

15 years ago, I was buying the last Bonum reels from a local camera store. The owner wanted to give me their sound striper, and I told him I would have no use for it. If I could only have seen into the future...
Dear Steve-Last century, I was so excited to change over to super 8 sound home movies, yet after the first few cartridges, I realized no one had anything remotely interesting to say and the thrill was mostly visual. With sound, I had to limit myself to longer shots unless I wanted to redub the choppy sound and coaching friends and family to speak as well as move was just too much. I have seen some really well done sound home movies, none of which are mine.
