Super8 Sound Sync Cameras
The Beaulieu has some negative features. It is relatively
noisy and somewhat fragile. It has no internal 1/F switch,
and requires the addition of the modified Erlson sync con-
tact switch to provide 1/F sync signals. Note that
the
single-
system Beaulieu 5008S described below is also a double-
system camera.

Nizo Sync Cameras
The Nizo cameras are probably the most reliable double-
system Super 8 sync cameras; they are also the quietest. They
withstand heavy student use (and abuse) with a minimum of
repairs. The old Nizo S56 was chosen by MIT to be the
crystal sync camera in the Leacock system. The S56 was re-
designed by Braun as the Nizo S560 to include lap dissolves
and a 1/F sync pulse tone burst. Its current version, the Nizo
561, has an improved viewfinder that makes the f/stop scale
easily visible. The 481 and 801 cameras are similar to the 561
except for the lens capability. See the camera data table for
detai Is.

The Nizo cameras have always had two sync contacts — their
1/F tone burst system, and the PC contact 1/F switch. Now
the Nizo Professional 800P has a third sync capability — the
standard 60Hz pilotone signal (50Hz in European cameras).
The Nizo Professional also has a macro version of the 7-80mm
Schneider lens used on the 801, and a built-in slating lamp
that fogs a frame and fires a bloop-marker voltage for use
with recorders having a bloop (beep) oscillator.
All the Nizo sync cameras except the S56 and S80 can be
modified by Braun North America (55 Cambridge Parkway,
Cambridge, MA 02142) to accept the Super8 Sound Crystal
Camera Control.
Nizo also offers a number of "XL" cameras with a 225
°
shut-
ter. The lens speed has not been increased to f/1.2, as with
most cameras carrying the XL designation. These cameras
have a PC contact for sync sound filming, and are the smallest
sync sound cameras available.

Canon Sync Cameras
Canon cameras are very ruggedly built. Their f/1.4 lenses
were the fastest Super 8 lenses until the new XL camera f/1.2
lenses. The Canon cameras are the next most popular after
Nizo and Beaulieu as sync sound cameras. They have been
used for sync sound since Bell & Howell first modified the
Canon 814 for Filmosound 8 in 1970.
The Canon's low prices make them perhaps the lowest cost
high-quality Super 8 cameras.
