Arriflex 416, where to get it? 16mm camera recommendatons?
Okay, I may be a little hard to find one for sale, but that's not the hard part. Do you have $55,000? (yes, 55 thousand dollars). If not, stop looking for one... it's not gonna happen. I just bought a 16mm camera, and I was interested in the 416 too.

Can someone tell me about Kodak Brownie box cameras?
The Basic Kodak Brownie box cameras mostly used 620 film. Some used either 620 or the more commonly available 120 film. I'm not sure about this, but I think any 620 camera can accept 120 film, but it doesn't go the other way around. (Maybe this would be a good question unto itself.) No matter...

what are those type of video cameras that the guy in RENT had?
It wasn't a video camera, it was a film camera. The easiest place to find it would probably be eBay, or you might know some people that grew up in the '70s and '80s and they'll have one as well.
