I agree that this has a way to go to be a working product and whilst I can afford an occasional £10 punt I wont be funding more unless I see that there is at least APS-C (DX) support coming.

I actually dont think that he would be advanced enough to get a FX solution working even at 6MP. Look at the problems Kodak had trying to produce the first FX sized sensor.

I don't think there is any future in that at all.

How many people still have film bodies that really can compete when the digital film is put in them? How many of them already have great digital bodies and won't bother even thinking about it?

When you look at all the improvements in camera bodies since the day of film bodies, you just don't have a competitive concept IMHO.

It was good idea that should have been progressed aggressively back in 2000.

The train has now left the station.

Well people still repair, maintain and run vintage cars so I would put this in the same category.

I dont think it is an alternative to a modern DSLRs but a lifeline to allow people to use the old film cameras when they want a nostalgia kick.

If they sell 10000 units I'd be very surprised but who knows. Nowt so strange as folk!!!
