I believe that the high quality super8 equipment will increase in price in the future since the supply diminishes every year while the demand increases. The s8 cameras that are well maintained are going to be worth more as the years roll by. Since things are cheap now, we should stock up. The DV camera that I bought for $3500 last year will be worth half that in 3 years. I believe a $400 Nizo will be worth at least $550 3 years from now. I feel safe investing in s8 equipment and love shooting the format.
