Reviews
A highly desirable camera for both use and collecting. Generally reliable but cameras do fail electrically and become completely dead since there appears to be a weakness with the supply between the batteries in the grip and the camera body. Similar to the 814 Electronic but has a faster slow motion speed (54 instead of 40), superimposition and lap dissolve in addition and a superb 10:1 zoom lens of the same filter thread size (58mm) as the 814E. The wideangle end starts at 7mm. And as 6mm would have been better, an aspheric converter can be fitted for wider views. Cheaper than the sound version 1014 XL-S and hence better value for money using silent cartridges.
