Hello, Wills I agree about the price being too high but what a neat idea! I wouldn't worry so much about not being able to see the image cuz you'll be able to see what hits the sensors. After adjusting the exposure, aperture and focus (and "film" speed) one would hope it would be repeatable and well characterized <g>. To get me to buy it it'd have to cost ~$200. Unless they can get the price down through their outsourcing it ain't going to hit the mainstream. Maybe that's not where they are aiming, but it sounds like they are. Actually the optics can be done quite cheaply as evidenced by the plethora of disposable cameras. Still, neat idea! JF

Re: - you can't view on-camera since SLRs aren't designed for that, must connect to PC Then again, you are right about the view. From their website: Field of View What is the sensor's actual physical size and capture area? As a rule, when a digital image sensor is adapted to a film camera, the image that the sensor captures is physically smaller than the area that you see in the viewfinder. The sensor's Field of View (FOV) encompasses only the center portion of the viewfinder image. JF
