Nikon R10 Super Eight Movie Camera - Super Zoom

The Nikon R10 is a fully automated, electronically controlled super 8 camera. It has thru-the-lens viewing with exposure meter and status in the viewfinder.

It has a 10:1 zoom that tracks focus through out the range. I has a two speed motorized zoom - 4 sec. to 7 sec. for full zoom, and it also has a zoom lever that extends for manual or speed zooms. It focuses from 5ft to infinity, and the lens can shift to macro mode that will focus all the way up to the front element.

It has three frame rates: the standard 18 fps, 24 fps and, for slow motion, 54 fps. The exposure is compensated for each frame rate. It can also shoot in single frame mode for animation. The shutter angle can be adjusted, allowing 160 degrees and 80 degrees and closed. Exposure is automatically compensated for exposure.

For exposure, it has an automatic internal meter that is triggered by a half press of the trigger. If you capture the exposure before starting to shoot, the very first frame is correctly exposed, and you have no flash frames. You can also adjust the standard exposure to + or - 2 stops. It also has manual exposure and a red indicator in the viewfinder if the exposure is out of range.

The eyepiece can be adjusted for your eyesite, and can also be closed for shooting without your eye on the viewfinder.

The ISO film speed is automatically set by a notch in the super 8 cartridge. There is a footage counter and it has a built in type A filter that can be inserted if you are shooting outside and your color film is balanced for interior light (type A film).

There is a battery checker light and it uses standard AA batteries. The battery contacts have been fully refurbished.

Super 8 film is available new: Kodak offers two speeds of its current color negative stock used for motion pictures, a color transparency film and a B&W film stock. A few old boxes of film cartridges are included though they are out of date and may not be up-to-spec.

This camera has been reviewed as the "Cadillac of Super 8 Cameras". It has had very few hours on it.
