Vaporware! Will be available! Will cost! We will not see this until sensor that are no thicker than film become available. The reason that digital backs are ouly available for cameras with interchangable magazine is simply that they are the only ones that have enough backspacing to allow the image plane of the sensor to be placed at the film plane of the camera.
And, why would it only work on certain cameras? Their proposed price is better than it used to be. About the same as a 3.3mp P&S. I think I would just buy the P&S myself. --graywolf ------------------------------------------------- The optimist's cup is half full, The pessimist's is half empty, The wise man enjoys his drink. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Waterson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 6:09 PM Subject: Re: Digital cameras are FREE > Just an addition to this thread is the e-film technology. > In short, (e)-film is a roll of film that isn't really film. > It is a digital image capturing device that fits into > your existing 35mm SLR camera body. > It works just like 35mm film, except that there is no film.
