The Canon 310XL is a Super 8 camera that was first produced by Canon in the 1970s. This Canon super 8 camera is highly sought after by film enthusiasts and collectors due to its high-quality image and ease-of-use and is one of Camera Crate’s more popular items as it is considered a viable option for those looking to experiment with super 8 film today. It’s automatic exposure system is a great option for beginners and those wanting a simple shooting system. The Canon 310XL is capable of reading and automatically metering the following film stocks:

  • Kodak Vision3 50D 7203 Super 8 Film
  • Kodak Vision3 200T 7213 Super 8 Film
  • Kodak Ektachrome 100T 7294 Super 8 Film
  • Kodak Tri-X Black & White 7266 Super 8 Film

One of the standout features of the Canon 310 XL is its low light shooting capability. It’s f/1.0 aperture lens allows the user to get well-exposed images in poor light. The camera also has a single-lens reflex viewfinder which allows the user to see what they will be capturing before they press the record button. This feature is particularly useful for those who are new to the world of film, as it allows them to get a feel for the camera before they start shooting. In addition the macro lens allows you to focus on subjects that are very close to the lens.

The Canon 310 XL Super 8 Camera is powered by 2 x AA batteries and is highly portable. This makes it perfect for those who are looking to take the camera on the go and shoot in a variety of different locations.

  2. Zoom – we inspect both manual and power zoom work smoothly. Any issues are noted.
  3. Focus – we check that manual focus is smooth and works well. If automatic focus is included as a feature that is also checked.
