Canon CANONSOUND 514XL-S

[Vilan]

I don't know about the quality of the camera but I do know that it is a sound super 8 and sound super 8 film is no longer in production. I'm not sure whether or not it can take silent cartridges.

The Canons are very good, and I'm 99.967% sure it can take the silent cartridge.

(Keep the .033% against life being full of surprises)
