The Bell & Howell Filmosound 8 is an old movie camera that uses Super 8 film to capture both image and sound. It was manufactured by the Bell & Howell company, known for its film equipment produced since the early 20th century. It is ideal for amateur filmmaking and in general, for recording memories on film. It was easy to use and offered the ability to record sound, something that was revolutionary for its time. Today, it is considered a collectible item and is used by those who love traditional filmmaking on film.

For playback, the Bell & Howell Filmosound 8 cannot project the film directly. After recording, the film must be developed and projected using a Super 8 projector or digitized for modern viewing.
