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,
Reinier

No, it did not work properly. Very low resolution, small sensor, took ages to come to market and was way outdated once it did.
Actually, it never really materialized (they never showed actual working prototypes to the public). They said it was an 1.3mp sensor being used. And it has a small format, much smaller than APS-C (2.58x crop factor). And it could only hold very few images (64mb, 24 images).
The company called itself Silicon Film Technologies, and the product was being announced as "efilm".
