This article is a little short on facts

Elmo also made some of the best Japanese super 8 cameras during the 1970s. They were not just a company known for making projectors. Projectors were usually superficially complimentary to film cameras. People would buy a projector to view their positive (slide film) or films that had been transferred onto transfer (positive) films from negatives. Elmo is another example of a camera company where It's just that among some of the largest camera brands in the world they never successfully made the transition to digital. In this case while Elmo tried, during the hi8 era, they never made it. Elmo is unlike other companies such as Sony, Nikon, and Canon that did successfully make the transition to hi8 CCD cameras and eventually modern CMOS digital video recording cameras. Elmo now simply makes a small existence as a projector maker in the education sector predominately where it's cheaper and easier to make projectors. But, the primary history of Elmo was as a camera manufacturer.

This article needs to better reflect the fact that Elmo was a well respected camera company until the 1980s. 120.22.231.252 (talk) 04:04, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
