the fleet of cameras (will update with more details later):
Kodak XL-350
Description: Automatic zoom camera from late 1970s. My dad’s old camera that I found with his things after he passed away.
Original cost: $177
Current cost: $1.99-$24.99 on ebay. Rare to find any in working condition
GAF SC/100
Description: Manufactured in 1974-75. I don’t know much about this camera.
Original cost: $50-60
Current cost: $1-$11 on ebay. Purchased on shopgoodwill.com with another camera for $21 including shipping.
Canon 514 XL
Description: Manufactured in 1975. Compact mid-priced camera for it’s time. This camera can run ektachrome film.
Original cost: $?? On the link provided, it says it went for $57,500 yen originally, however, if you convert it at today’s currency exchange, that equates like $600. That seems like a crazy price to pay.
Current cost: $50-$100 on ebay. Purchased on shopgoodwill.com with the GAF camera for $21 including shipping.
Canon 1014 XL-S
Description: Manufactured in 1979-1982. Top of the line canon at the time — last line of super-8s produced prior to switching to tape. This model varies over the 814 in terms of size (considerably larger), and features (dissolve and fade functions are built in). This camera can run ektachrome film.
Original cost: $??
Current cost: $150-$700 depending on quality and accessories. I purchased mine off craigslist for $200. It’s in pristine condition.
