Even when boiling it down to camera-mechanical excellence body-wise and optical resolving power lens-wise, it's still virtually impossible to come up with a definitive answer about 'sharpness' as determined by visual impressions from a presentation. There are so many parameters that determine every "real-life" shot: light condition, shutter opening angle, aperture, exposure time, film pressure and flatness, frame stability and frame variance, mechanical transportation and registration, and film development.
Why? Discussing sharpness is a fuzzy topic. Unlike what most might think, this cannot just be all about 'sharpness'. We established a couple of criteria for that purpose along which we intended to rank the potentially most suitable cameras accordingly. The purpose was to find out which Super 8 cameras were most ideally suited for production purposes in the Super 8 format.
Actually, I finally find time to honour my promise and post the ranked list of Super 8 cameras that several colleagues and myself established through extensive testing a while back.
