What camera is this.

[Guest]

Just saw this article, I know it is not a folder question but It looks like it could be a modern medium format or large format camera. it could be a movie camera.
So I was just wondering if any of you camera buffs know what it is.
Cheers,
James.

looks like a Nizo Super 8 film camera...

Positively Super 8 - a higher end one (consumer ones had no removable grip). No Beaulieu (been through all of them, streamline shape on the older ones, knobby sound control panel on the later ones). If a Nizo, a old one (by the mid seventies they had switched over to a very characteristic Dieter Rams design) with modifications (none of mine had that sound sync socket). Could also be a Bauer - these had that conservative shape for longer.

Looks like an older model Canon 514 XL-S with the fold-up handle. Photos here:
