Re: digital backs for classic slr cameras

The one you heard about died from lack of interest. It offered too little too late (only 1 MP, no screen for viewing image, overpriced, etc.)
I would not hold my breath waiting for one. If one were to be developed, it would probably be for Nikon or Canon, the major players in the pro arena, not for Olympus, which is regarded as more of a minor player (not to say Olympus didnt make great film cameras, which they did).
Something like this would have to have the promise of paying back the development costs, so thats why I dont expect to see one.
