Sometime ago I read of a company that was marketing a digital camera which would convert a SLR camera to a digital. It would fit as a film roll in the back of the camera for about 800$. What happened?

I am very impressed by the usefullness and completeness of this website. Thank you.

Hi Rita,

Thanks for the kudos on the site!

Imagek has changed names to Silicon Film, and has a web site at www.siliconfilm.com. The product has been perpetual vaporware, but it looks like they're actually finally getting close. I take it as a very positive indication that they've added Doug Howe as their marketing director - Doug has a long history in the digicam industry, and counts as a true heavyweight...

Hi Rita, you are probably talking about efilm announced by Imagek. You can see more in their site http://www.imagek.com/ Exellent idea but lots of limitations for the moment.

The last time I looked at the Imagek home page, they appeared to be out of business. The page didn't exist.
