I’m very tempted to buy a cheap Super 8 camera (probably a Yashica) and I don’t know if I want to be talked out of it or talked into it.

@Gargron Do it! I thought about getting something more recent with VHS tape... The plus side being that VHS is also a great storage medium for audio as well. But luckily I have no use case :D
@Gargron I have a Cosina Super-8 videocamera lying around here, don't know if it still works.
@Gargron you need to do it because it will be fun and you only live once
@Gargron Do it.
@Gargron Just do it maybe.
@Gargron
Are there still companies that would process ("entwickeln") the films for you, or would you need to do that yourself?
@khzimmer2 Yes, there are plenty of labs around.
@Gargron
IIRC, the film for it gets pretty expensive. And of course, editing and projection equipment is a whole new workflow. Unless you want to convert it to digital video, and that'll require a scanner (or a service).
OTOH ... actual film.
@Gargron When I can't justify getting a new piece of junk I make a deal with myself to get rid of an old piece of junk first.
Usually I end up keeping both but sometimes I do get rid of that old junk and I feel really good about myself for a day or two.
@vadhakara Calling it junk is a bit loaded.
