Canon Scoopic 16M
The Canon Scoopic 16M is a 16mm cine camera designed for news and documentary work, with a fixed zoom lens and built-in metering aimed at handheld run-and-gun shooting. It belongs to Canon's Scoopic line of self-contained 16mm motion picture cameras.
UK sales data for the Scoopic 16M is thin, with one recorded result of £812 hammer at saleroom level in June 2025 — a wholesale auction figure rather than a dealer retail price. On that basis the current value sits in the high three figures, though as of 2026 a single data point means the price a clean working example sells for can vary widely with condition and completeness.
