As long as the camera has been converted for Super 16mm it will work. Otherwise you can shoot regular 16mm which is more square. A lot of Bolex cameras have been converted to Super. A more expensive route would be to get a converted Arriflex, which I've shot with many times. Great cameras and they are crystal synced for perfect audio.
Developing is still available all around the country. I've used Cinelab in MA a few times. Dwayne's is a well-known place, as is Spectra Film.
For telecine it just depends on what format you'll want. I prefer transfer to hard drive in Apple Pro Res (high-def) or Uncompressed 10-bit (standard def). I don't like tapes or dvds, lots of compression.
I suggest visiting Cinematography.com and looking through the forums... lots of good info in there!
