Hi Brightcolours,
Thanks for the reply.
It was a nice idea though. I wonder if it would have been possible to produce a good efilm with a bigger and better sensor and better storage. Or is the room just to small to fit in all the necessary parts to have a proper digital 'module'?
Best wishes,

Certainly now it is possible to make a module with processor, battery, and memory (even an SD card). Biggest challenge of course the thin-ness of the sensor part, which will make it only possible for certain SLR models (depends on how the film guidance is designed). Usually there is only room form the thinkness of a film.
Of course, one could offer it with guidance for modification of the camera back (removing part of the film guidance), but then it is not easy to switch between film and digital.
Usability problems of course will be no LCD to have any feedback (histogram, image review), a set ISO, no JPEG shooting (no WB settings), limited battery performance due to space With all these drawbacks, I do not see a huge market for it and then the price will be very high.
