SUPER 8MM FILM COMPARISON

50D 200T OR 500T?

I spent the year experimenting with the different film types with my Canon Autozoom 1014 Electric. 500t seems too noisy for my preferences with 50d being my favorite.

Great comparison. It looks that the camera's daylight filter was not engaged with that 500T (tungsten) so it looks too blue in daylight.

Very helpful. I was in very bright conditions and almost out of 50d. Had I seen this I wouldn’t have been so scared to use 200d. It’s not as good, but still performs

Good stuff. You have a really nice camera move coming off of the kid to the lady holding the baby.Only thing I would have liked to have seen were some shots using tungsten balanced light as well as some mixed lighting conditions. I would've liked to have seen some tripod shots, no law says all home movies must be handheld.

Reminds me of the American History X intro and outro

Nice comparison. 👏 Did you shoot in auto or manual (light meter).

I'll still take the (in whomevers' opinion) that worst quality film over the best quality digital anyday. To me, it isn't about the resolution or "the look", it's about how the format captures an image, Film, Digital, or even Videotape, none of them look better or worse, it just captures moving images differently, in the process also creating artifacts only that format has. This is a big reason why I don't like it when people try to "emulate" the film or VHS look. When you can clearly tell it was shot on digital, it just comes off looking really weird and just feels wrong. It's the cinematic blackface. It's perfectly fine to shoot on digital if you want, but why try to achieve a look in post, it really makes it come across as being ashamed of your work, when you really shouldn't, own up to it, but try to disguise it.

with the tungsten light in daylight the camera setting is in daylight or ??
