In 2005, Kodak announced the discontinuation of their most popular stock [[Kodachrome]]<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/about/news/super8.jhtml |title=40th Anniversary of Super 8 film |website=Kodak.com |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071124181343/http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/about/news/super8.jhtml |archive-date = 2007-11-24}}</ref> due to the decline of facilities equipped with the [[K-14 process|K-14]] developing process. Kodachrome was "replaced" by a new [[International Organization for Standardization|ISO]]&nbsp;64 [[Ektachrome]], which uses the simpler [[E-6 process]]. The last roll of Kodachrome was processed on January 18, 2011,{{notetag|The announced last date of processing was December{{nbs}}30, 2010.}} in Parsons, Kansas, by the sole remaining lab capable of processing it.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna40853048 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101231220940/http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40853048/ns/business-the_new_york_times/ |url-status=live |archive-date=2010-12-31 |title=Kodachrome's road ends at Kansas photo lab}}</ref> 

In December 2012, Kodak discontinued color reversal stock in all formats, including 35&nbsp;mm and Super&nbsp;8. However, in Spring of 2019, Kodak introduced Ektachrome 100D in super&nbsp;8 and 16&nbsp;mm formats, citing surges in demand.<ref>{{cite web |title=EKTACHROME Color Reversal Film 7294 |url=https://www.kodak.com/en/motion/product/camera-films/ektachrome |website=[[Kodak]] |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230123010907/https://www.kodak.com/en/motion/product/camera-films/ektachrome|archive-date=January 23, 2023 }}</ref>
Today, there are still a variety of Super&nbsp;8 film stocks. Kodak sells one Super&nbsp;8 color reversal stock, Ektachrome 100D, and three Super&nbsp;8 color negative stocks cut from their Vision&nbsp;3 film series, ISO&nbsp;50, ISO&nbsp;200 and ISO&nbsp;500, which can be used in very low light. Kodak reformulated the emulsions for the B&W reversal stocks and made Tri-X (ISO&nbsp;200).

Film cut to Super&nbsp;8 from other manufactured raw stock such as Fuji, Orwo, Adox, Agfa and Foma are also available. Pro8mm offers 7 color negative stocks made from Kodak and Fuji film. Color Reversal film for Super&nbsp;8 is still available from several Super&nbsp;8 specialty companies. Wittner Kinotechnik offers Super&nbsp;8 made from a batch of Agfa Aviphot 200D, which is perforated and slit for Super&nbsp;8, 8&nbsp;mm and 16&nbsp;mm formats. This film is loaded into Super&nbsp;8 and Single cartridges by several of the specialty companies. Other stocks, such as the new Fuji reversal film, and existing supplies of Kodak 35&nbsp;mm 100D are often made available in Super&nbsp;8 by these specialty companies.{{Update inline|date=March 2024|?=yes|reason=Dubious, considering that 100D is produced by Kodak in both 8mm and 35mm}}

The growing popularity and availability of [[non-linear editing system]]s has allowed film-makers and any user of film to shoot Super&nbsp;8 film but edit in digital. This avoids much of the tedium of handling film and the damage to the film, which can occur when editing the actual film.{{Original research inline|date=March 2024}} Super&nbsp;8 films may be transferred (scanned) to digital and then imported into computer-based editing and correction systems for post production. Today's systems can scan Super&nbsp;8 to [[4K resolution|4K digital]] in a variety of formats.
