Only color and lens size separate these two models. The all-black D12 looks big and bad with its 12 to 1 Macro Zoom Rokkor 1.8 / 6.5 - 78 mm. The consumerish two-tone D10 is silver and black and comes with a non-macro 10-1 Zoom Rokkor 1.8 / 7 - 70 mm. I’ve shot with both and find the D10 lens noticeably sharper than the D12. Another example of the smaller Super 8 lens in a series proving superior in resolution. Both lenses provide nice contrast and pleasing bokeh, a Minolta trademark. Both cameras are very sturdy and solidly built. Both models weigh in at around 10 pounds which make them, alongside the Beaulieu 6008, two of the heaviest Super 8 cameras ever made. Go out shooting with a D10/D12 and sooner or later someone will come up and ask you if you’re shooting 16mm. Great cameras, but get a backup because on the D10/D12 the manual exposure setting is coupled to the automatic exposure, which means that if the EE goes south, and it will, your camera will be rendered inoperative.

Another one of the 'sturdy metal box' cameras; It literally weighs 5 lbs, after a while you cannot hand-hold it anymore and you'll need to put it on a tripod. But whereas the other Autopak-8 D models have the tripod thread on the bottom of the handle (yuck), the D12 has a proper fold-back handle for a more secure mounting point (pull the black pin under the trigger). It has a nice selection of features including a fully variable shutter, macro focus at any focal length, 5 different zoom speeds, and an optional intervalometer accessory. The lens is a solid 8/10. The external battery pack is needed for 32 and 50fps shooting, but can also be used for normal operation of the camera instead of using batteries in the handle, should the need arise. The one big negative is of course the manual exposure being tied to the auto exposure, which is really unfortunate, because if it wasn't the case this camera could easily hold its own against the best Super-8 cameras.

This camera requires the high speed power pack in order to use 32 & 50 fps.
This camera requires a lot of power because of all the high-tech functions contained within. Luckily, batteries are easy to obtain. 5 AA batteries are required for the camera alone + 8 AA batteries for the high-speed power pack and 5 AA batteries for the intervalometer.

I have this setup in mint condition.. got a killer deal on it after over paying for less superior super8 cams. Great cam makes really nice super8 movies.. selling for up to $900 on some websites in mint condition. I recomend this lil lady to anyone.
