I watched Killer Elite last night. One of the main characters, played by Jason Statham, in the movie is using Olympus XA to record a proof of assassination , he just committed. And later him and Clive Owen fight over who is going to keep the XA. How cool is that?
And before that, another character was using Ricoh SLR for surveillance.

My hat is off to the director for not endorsing anything modern and for promoting old film cameras.

Watched that movie a few weeks ago and pulled out my XA to show my wife it was the same camera. Of course, I turned around and sold it this past weekend...
 
Here's another XA cameo. During the wedding episode of the Royles british comedy show, I'm pretty sure that the grandmother is handling an XA. The show is worth it, by the way, even without the XA cameo 🙂
