Kevin, I read about the drop-in digital film from Irving Sensors last year. It looks like a roll of 35mm film with a short attachment that includes a CCD. The unit fits in a standard 35mm SLR body and then can be downloaded to a PC once full. There is no removable storage, so you apparently have to remove it when capacity is reached. There is no notable competition out there. It seems that the major camera manufacturers are having too much fun with point-and-shoot cameras to worry about upgrades like digital camera backs for SLR users. The main drawback I see is damage to the CCD sensor with repeated removals and the lack of removable memory. Also, the 2.0 and 2.3 megapixel cameras with fully enclosed CCD sensors will likely produce images equivalent to emulsion film. Anyone else knowledgeable about the IRSN (Irving Sensor) device?
