thankyou to those whom threw in some answers here,
i don't get the connection point though --as surely all thats needed is a chip that slips in & acts like film(either you get the correct exposure via the mechanics & settings of the shutter/exposure settings or you don't.
the chip controller would be set up just as if it were a certain ASA rated film & the resulting exposures sent to a storage module.the actual exposures would be controlled by the slr(with some trail & error learning curve).
Am i over simplifying this??.
methinks --this will be possible once the size of the sensors/chips are made larger & upgrades become available for digital models--even the new today(fixed) dig slrs will be obselete in a very few years, when they are designed with upgrades in mind--i feel that will be when we have truely arrived. simultaneously i expect gizmos to appear for inserting into a classic film slr.
regards nigel.

You are correct sir: I believe it was built around a film canister size at $700. - Joe M 09:26:50 02/05/04 (1)
