I'm guessing. It sounds like you actually went to either a place of residence or a business and checked out the camera first?

[HenrySuper8]

Sorry, to complicated engrrish [img]smile.gif[/img] at this time (3:19 in the morning)... eh explain what u mean!

It sounds like you didn't buy it on e-bay. It sounds to me like you were able to see the camera before buying it.

Is that correct?

[HenrySuper8]

Well yes i bought it in a very good photo shop in stockholm!

[Alex]

I think that's great that you were able to see the camera first, ask questions, perhaps learn about the camera a bit, all of this before buying the camera.

If it comes with a warranty, all the better. Does this store sell other super-8 cameras and accessories?

[HenrySuper8]

Well, goto www.wibergsfoto.se and click on the button "Smalfilm"
there you go!

I checked the cameras on their inventory list. I don't know the bauers well enough, but otherwise it looks like you picked a good camera.

It may not have manual exposure (I'm not sure), but it probably has exposure lock, which is good.

What do you know about the manual exposure options for the camera? The camera will probably take a nice picture even if you keep it in automatic.

I believe we discussed the different canon cameras on another topic post. If you are curious you might want to look for it. It's probably on page two or page three of the forum archives.

Also, Cameraguy knows the Canon 514XLS-AF (AF stands for Auto Focus).

Congratulations, Henry, I know how excited I was when I upgraded from my simple GAF camera to a more professional model...you're gonna have a lot of fun with that camera! Mike
