Beaulieu News 16
The Beaulieu News 16 is a 16mm cine camera, part of Beaulieu's range of French-built motion picture cameras aimed at professional and advanced amateur film users.
Sales data for the News 16 is sparse, with one UK auction hammer result of £875 recorded in November 2025 — a wholesale saleroom figure rather than a dealer asking price. On that single data point, today's value sits in the high-hundreds of pounds, though a working 16mm Beaulieu can sell for considerably more or less depending on condition, completeness and whether motors and accessories are included. With only one recent sale, any quoted price for what a News 16 is worth should be treated as indicative.
Sales History
Prices shown are UK auction hammer results — the wholesale level achieved in the saleroom. Neither buyer’s nor seller’s commission is included. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.
