    maybe yes and maybe no, it depends on your camera. if it is an old 8mm motion picture camera, the answer is no, those cameras used reels and not cartridges. if it is a Super 8 motion picture camera, the answer is yes assuming the camera can adjust for the higher ASA of modern film stock and you won't get audio recording. if it is a video camera, then it is Hi8 or Video8, and you can still get tape cassettes (it is the same for either).

    Yes, but the cost is outrageously high.

    Try a google search and see for yourself.

    Keep in mind that each cartridge has only 50 feet of film in it,

    which provides a maximum run time of two and one-half minutes.
