The Sankyo CM880 Super 8 Camera is one of our most popular cameras and is ideal for intermediate users who require a durable camera with a massive zoom range that’s simple to use whilst giving good results. 

This camera features a huge 8x zoom lens with smooth, manual focusing alongside the choice of manual or power zoom. In addition to 18fps shooting, the Sankyo CM880 Super 8 Camera also features 36fps slow motion recording.

In addition to manual exposure control it also can automatically expose the following film stocks:

• Kodak Vision3 50D Super 8 Film (great for using outdoors on bright, sunny days)
• Kodak Ektachrome 100D Super 8 Film  (great for using outdoors on bright, sunny days)
• Kodak Vision3 200T Super 8 Film (use outdoors on overcast days or indoors with plenty of light)
• Kodak Tri-X Black & White Super 8 Film (suitable for shooting indoors and outdoors with good light).

The Sankyo CM880 super 8 camera is the top model in the CM series. If you require something a little more compact, consider the Sankyo CM300 (3x zoom). Sankyo CM400 (4x zoom) or the Sankyo CM600 (6x zoom).

If you’re looking for a similar model with macro focusing, consider the Sankyo MF range which are otherwise identical to the CM range. There is the MF-303 (3x zoom), MF-404 (4x zoom) and MF-606 (6x zoom).
