===Equipment===
Although Kodak launched Super 8 and had its own cameras, hundreds of other companies produced Super&nbsp;8 camera, projection, editing, and sound equipment. Some of the more notable companies that made Super&nbsp;8 equipment include: Canon,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.canon.com/c-museum/en/product/cine268.html |title=Canon Museum |website=Canon Museum |publisher=Canon}}</ref> Bauer,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://super8wiki.com/index.php/Category:Bauer|title=Category:Bauer - Super8wiki|website=super8wiki.com}}</ref> Nizo,<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://super8wiki.com/index.php/Category:Nizo|title=Category:Nizo - Super8wiki|website=super8wiki.com}}</ref> Super8 Sound (Pro8mm),<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.pro8mm.com/|title=Pro8mm &#124; Super 8 & 16mm Film, Cameras, Processing, & Digital Scanning|website=Pro8mm}}</ref> Beaulieu, Leicina, Logmar, Ciro, Bolex, Goko, Hahnel, Wurker, Minolta, Minnette, Nikon.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://imaging.nikon.com/history/chronicle/cousins19-e/index.htm|title=Nikon &#124; Imaging Products &#124; Best of the Rest / Nikon Family Cousins, Part 19 : Nikon R10 / R8 SUPER ZOOM|website=imaging.nikon.com}}</ref> Most of these companies had long histories in the production of motion-picture equipment, dating back to the 1930s with 8&nbsp;mm. In 1980, the consumer market for Super&nbsp;8 collapsed. Most of the independent companies were forced into bankruptcy or merged, as the demand for Super&nbsp;8 evaporated overnight.{{buzzword inline|date=August 2021}} Some companies remained in business until 1985, when many gave up completely on movie-film equipment. A few later re-emerged, including Beaulieu, who, in 1985, introduced a new 7008 camera and Super 8 Sound that introduced a new version of its full-coat recorder, the Mag&nbsp;IV. The companies in which Super&nbsp;8 was only a division simply closed. Kodak continued support for Super&nbsp;8. A few products re-emerged with new features such as crystal sync and Max8.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Silberg |first=Jon |date=January 2007 |title=Scheming Royals and a Self Destructive "Super Star |url=https://www.theasc.com/ac_magazine/January2007/ProductionSlate/page2.php |journal=American Cinematographer}}</ref> Several Canon models have also started to reappear as restoration efforts like the RhondaCam. Recently, new companies have started producing new Super&nbsp;8 cameras. In 2015, Logmar introduced a limited-edition completely new Super&nbsp;8 camera,<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Chun |first=Rene |date=2014-07-31 |title=New Super 8 Camera Boost Vintage Film |url=https://www.wired.com/2014/07/logmar-super-8/ |magazine=Wired}}</ref> and in 2016, Kodak showed a concept of a new Super&nbsp;8 camera at the 2016 CES expo.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Sax |first=David |date=January 27, 2016 |title=Kodak's Old School response to disruption |url=http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/kodak-and-the-analog-response-to-disruption |magazine=The New Yorker}}</ref> There are literally millions of Super&nbsp;8 cameras that are still available and viable because of manufacturing methods back in the 1960s and 1970s. These cameras can be found at specialized retailers and distributors and at auction sites such as [[eBay]].

===Film stock===
Kodak currently offers one color reversal stock, Ektachrome 100D, three of its latest Vision&nbsp;3 color negative stock, the 50D, 200T, and 500T, and Tri-X B&W reversal film in the Super&nbsp;8 format. Several Super&nbsp;8 specialty companies such as Pro8mm in Burbank CA, Wittner Cinetec in Hamburg, Germany, and Kahlfilm in Brühl, Germany, slit and perforate raw 35&nbsp;mm film stock from Kodak, Fuji, [[ORWO]], Agfa, and Foma and then repackage it in Kodak Super&nbsp;8 cartridges. Adox has its own B&W film supply and provides this in its own Super&nbsp;8 cartridge design by GKfilmCinevia. Retro&nbsp;8 of Japan provides a similar service for Super&nbsp;8 film in the Fuji Cartridge (Single8). There are now more varieties of Super&nbsp;8 film available than ever before.

In 2017, Kodak announced that [[Ektachrome]] will soon be available again in the Super&nbsp;8 format.<ref>{{Cite news |url=https://petapixel.com/2017/09/13/return-kodak-ektachrome-film-nigh/ |title=The Return of Kodak Ektachrome Film is Nigh |last=Zhang |first=Michael |date=2017-09-13 |work=PetaPixel |access-date=2017-11-29 |language=en-US}}</ref> In Spring of 2019, Kodak officially released Ektachrome 100D in Super&nbsp;8 and 16&nbsp;mm formats.

Super 8 film is available worldwide through specialty shops and online from major companies such as Amazon. It has become common to see it sold with processing prepaid and for it to be sold with scan-to-digital services at a variety of different levels from [[standard-definition]] digital to 4K data. It can even be purchased to include all the logistic associated with the process, including film processing, scanning and internet delivery of image and mail in and back services.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Mcdarris |first=Josh |date=2014 |title=Review : Pro8mm's Super 8 Film Kit |url=http://joshmcdarris.blogspot.com/2014/10/review-pro8mms-super-8-film-kit-or.html |journal=Blogspot |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161012042814/http://joshmcdarris.blogspot.com/2014/10/review-pro8mms-super-8-film-kit-or.html |archive-date=2016-10-12}}</ref> This is a sample video done with the Super&nbsp;8 film kit.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://vimeo.com/pro8mm/super8filmkit |title=Apricot Jam |last=Vigeant |first=Phil |date=2013}}</ref>
