They must be taking their retailers for complete idiots. This is a
meagre 6 MPixels, 24 bits per pixel. I will certainly not accept to
have my film destroyed for as little as this.

Yes. The very same process was announced a few years ago.

You need to be careful with digicam and printer specs; most marketing 
people confuse pixels and dots.  There's a subtle but very important 
difference.

2002-09-03 Thread Mike Ignatiev

Just spotted one in a CVS dowstairs. Looks like... well, applied scifi. You
insert a roll of film, in 10 minutes it develops the negs and then you can
print it, you can get the scanned CD. 

Almost wanted to try it, until... to ensure your privacy, your negatives will
be delivered on a CD, and the film will be unusuable and recicled.

Ooops... I guess the 1hr lab around the corner will still handle my film for a
while.
