So I was watching the latest episode of JBHV tonight, minding my own business, when all of a sudden they bust out a super 8 camera! They not only show them taking footage and playing with it, but they show some actual footage they took (I think). It's hard to tell if they digitally modified regular footage or not. The clip can be found here:

The clip should be the first one, it's called "the perks of smoking" and the scene with super 8 starts around 1:00. Can anyone hazard a guess at what kind of camera they're using?

Disclaimer: Jon Benjamin's show may seem a little stupid and/or offensive to some people. The main reason I brought this up is that it's pretty rare to see this in a TV show, possibly the influence of the movie super 8. This particular episode Jon interviews a religious sect who believes Jesus smoked a pipe. So he starts to smoke, a lot. Then they have this cool super 8 video scene with lots and lots of smoking. Enjoy!
