Could I use it to capture stills from 8 mm or Super 8 mm film?

No, it's set up for only 35mm. (Wish it could, I have lots of old 8mm film)

The slide is not compatible with 8mm. It is designed to fit 35mm slides and 35mm negatives. If you could design a slide mechanism to fit the slot, I see no reason why it would not capture them.

There is a negative tray with it. You would have to have them in small slices to do so I do not think it is practical. You slide the one negative at a time in. The size of negative of a slide negative.

I use mine with a DSLR but mostly for stills. You would have to watch your breath as that may affect the stability of your scene. I put over 10 pounds of camera and lens. It is very stabil.

I would say no it is not good at doing super close up shots. You would need a camera with a macro lens to do that kind of photos.

This lens is suited for micro-shooting (like tiny objects). Probably not best for your purposes.

Yes it should work. At this point in time finding the "CLD" still available was a blessing. It seems that the 8MM format is going the way of VHS. Using the CLD saved my camcorder.

This works best for video. I don't use it for stills. However I looked up the TG-3 and I would definitely use it for underwater diving and on land video. BTW I really like that camera, might be my next camera! If you can find a small tripod (like the Albinar 2 in 1) that is hand held like the opteka that would be great because it is fun to take selfies with your phone with this type of camera.

Short answer: no, get a proper stills camera for that. However since it shoots raw, it saves each frame as a separate dng file within a folder so technically you could grab a still from the dng sequence.

look at the sizes, if they are the same as your polaroid sizes for film then you can use it

Hi there Patrick. All super 8 film is universal. It's a very easy format to work with. I've used this cartridge in many different super 8 cameras. The Chinon camera is a sound camera which is very rare for super 8. They made them for a short time. The great thing about super 8 film is it's ability to record the sound from your chinon camera. So yes. You should have no problem with this film. The gate on super 8 film camera only takes up half the space of the actual 8mm film. The rest is for the sound but most cameras without sound don't use the space and it gets wasted. You will be good! Cheers and happy new year. W.

Yes it can but not as Good as a DSLR. I don't know what the megapixal rating is on the stills.

This would work fine. The image on screen appears to be about 5mp. And has stability help, so its not so shakey. BUT when taking a photo its about 1mp or less. Great for viewing crap for pics. Should be good for your needs. Its cheap and sturdy. Focus is on the very back, almost missed it myself

Absolutely, I didn't buy it for that but, during my granddaughters birthday party I unintentionally took a close up of her. It was so good that I had an 8x10 made. It would definitely take the place of an entry level digital camera.

Yes it is. I bought it for just that purpose as I foolishly let my old 8mm camera go when I upgraded.

Yes. You should not have any issues getting beautiful 8x10s out of this camera.

Yes, I believe so however the picture quality is just okay.. In addition you can only take still shots.. I wouldn't recomend this camera..

Yes it can.I have mine for sale if you want it for a lot less than new. Used it to film my wedding and never used it again.

I am not a techie, but I also believe if there is an output jack on your 8mm camcorder, it should work. As you might already know, the yellow is for video, and the red and white is for audio.
