My brother got one off of ebay a few months ago. It was only 5 dollars, but when he got it, it didn't work. So my advise, don't buy a super 8 that is super cheap or you will find it is super crap. Spend the extra money, and you get one with neat features, and maybe one that acually works, which will be well worth it. As for camera brands, search for Bolex, I think someone told me that was a good quality brand, but I'm not totally sure.
