Prices in the Wiki

When taking a look at the prices for used devices, you should also take a look at the timestamps:

• The prices for Single8-cameras dropped significantly in 2007-2009 after Fuji announced to axe its Fujichrome RT200N/R25N by 2010/2012.
• The prices for Super8-cameras dropped when Kodak axed the Kodachrome 40 in 2005 and dropped significantly when Kodak axed the Ektachrome 100D by the end of 2012.
• Since then the prices for splicers, editors, ... also dropped a little bit. However the prices for the "top of the line"-projectors remained stable.

Update: Other formats

Important update: The Super 8 Wiki now contains equipment and information about other formats (i.e. Single8, 16mm, ...) as well, so please check the equipments' categories twice before buying non-super8-devices by mistake.
