my wife was watching Hope Floats the other day and said that camera Bullock was using was great - Something about an 8mm and how it takes wide pictures with a classic look....I looked on ebay and only found 8mm Movie Cameras - all were cheap and they all basically said "as is" so I'm not sure if they were selling them just for collectables or what -

Would anyone know anything about this kind of camera and what it might cost me to get one? I am trying to do something thoughtful, but i need help

thanks
