I am relatively new to 2-D line animation and was wondering what type of cameras were best to start out with that was capable of capturing a single frame at a time for the use in hand drawn, line animation. I want one that is pretty versatile with use in pencil tests and just shooting in general, if at all that was possible in a single camera, due to the fact that cost is the biggest factor in this endeavour, and by that I mean endless flood of hate.

I'm not really into digital cameras (I'm not sure why, but anything that's slept with my mother I don't trust) but I'm somewhat intrigued by super 8, and was wondering if that would be reasonable within a cheap budget of camera purchase, developing costs, etc. .

Also, what kind of camera is pictured here don's old pencil test camera. I was thinking something like that might be what I'm looking for? Am i just lying? I've been searching for days and this knowledge still eludes. This isn't one of those JVC models in the GR-AX line is it?
