Super 8 Film Projectors Make A Comeback With Modern LED

Projectors are getting pretty advanced these days, sometimes to the point that they're difficult to use. But remember way back when when theaters still used Super 8 projectors? You may have even used them in the classroom, or when your grandparents showed you some old fashioned family video pre-HD camcorder.

As of April 24, Japanese retro video fans will be able to get their hands on a Super 8 projector kit from Gakken. The film is spooled using a handcrank and you can't actually buy a Super 8 camera to go with it, but it does come with modern LED technology. The kit will be priced at 8000 yen or $80 US.
