Bell & Howell 200 EE (Electric Eye)

The Bell & Howell 200 EE (Electric Eye) is an 8mm cine movie camera from the mid-twentieth century, built around an automatic exposure system signalled by the "Electric Eye" name. It sat in the consumer amateur-movie segment when new, aimed at home users who wanted point-and-shoot exposure rather than manual metering.

With only a single tracked UK saleroom result on file, the 200 EE has fetched £6 at hammer in the auction market, and that figure reflects wholesale level rather than a retail or dealer price. As of 2026, this is a low-value collectable where the price you pay or sells for at auction is driven almost entirely by cosmetic condition and whether the camera runs; expect today's typical worth to sit in single figures unless a clean, working example with original case attracts competing bidders.
