Having so many good 35 mm cameras, I was wondering why not just put a nother back cover on it with a digital picture capture abillity. I know I will only get part of the frame, but I would not have to get a new line of extra equipment.

Mega Vision & Fuji Have Digi Backs for Medium Format - Gochugogi 00:58:16 10/21/01 (1)
High grade digi backs are popular in the pro world of medium and large format. The pixels are much larger than the pixels in consumer grade point 'n shoot digi cams. Mega Vision makes a nice 6 MP for medium format.

  similiar to their 'EFS-1' for

  Cameras,35mm:
  A lot of Exakts + everything one could get extra for it.
  Later I got Nikons.
  About time, but $600+ It is not exaktly what I want, but close. I would like the direct monetor ability etc. that is, the whole back of the camera must be exthanged to get the direct conections.
  I did cut op a small digital (180*320) "camera", and got it mounted in a camers, but got very low picture quality.
  Guess I will spend $200 on a 1.3 mega..( first se if I can find a non working unit), and se if I can get it to work for me. I don't mind drilling and gluing. I have some Nikon N2000 I could cut up, when I get into that stage of mind.

  - The Kodak "Preview" Advantix APS camera has A One-Frame Digital Memory- - - - john c. 13:10:38 10/19/01 (1)
    ....it lets you see the frame you just shot
    on an LCD screen on the camera back---but SO FAR,
    no 35mm camera company has come up with
    a removable/ exchangeable film-back
    which uses 'memory cards' such
    as CompactFlash---you'd think in the
    year 2001, we'd have
    such a thing by now!!!Of course, you
    COULD buy one of the DOZENS of
    purely-digital cameras out there...
