This listed item is a used Canon 514XL Super 8 Movie Camera.

The unit was tested and is fully working. In perfect, near mint condition. The case that is included has some issues with the faux leather flaking off.

This model, developed under the basic design policy of “compactness,” revised the basic construction of the best-selling Auto Zoom 518SV Super 8 model.

A new type of 5x f/1.4 zoom lens was developed, with 13 elements in 11 groups to achieve both high performance and compactness. Macro shooting at both the wide-angle and telephoto ends was made possible. A self-timer mechanism was built into the camera to enable 10 seconds shooting with 10 seconds delay. The power source, using mere two AA batteries, was located on top of the camera, and the compact folding-type grip was folded to the bottom of the camera. This layout renewal achieved a body only 39 mm wide. The extensive use of plastic resulted in a light weight of 620 grams, including batteries, but it also had a high-grade black body.

A unique accessory for this model was a wide attachment lens for super wide-angle shooting at the wide-angle end of the lens.
