Eight Retro Gadgets That Got Modern Updates

Even as we flirt with Jetsons-style bathrooms hooked up to digital assistants and breakneck races of flying “cars,” one thing remains clear: Despite ever-improving technology, our nostalgia-tuned minds remain glued to the rear-view mirror. Last week at CES, Kodak made that abundantly clear when it revealed footage from its hotly-anticipated reboot of the Super 8 camera, which revolutionized amateur filmmaking when originally released in 1965.

It’s part of a movement that Kodak describes on its website as an “analog renaissance.” The film-format camera—Kodak’s first since 1982—will cost from $2,500 to $3,000, have a 3.5-inch LCD screen, variable speed control, and C-mount lens support. If you’re wondering where the heck you’re going to get the film developed, Kodak has you covered: An online platform will let you purchase film, processing, and shipping. You’ll mail the goods to Kodak, which will process the film and scan it digitally before sending the files to your Darkroom account.
