Hi foks
I haven't shot any pics for many years now, but many years
back along there was work being done on a unit that could go in the
camera in place of film and give you digital shots that could be
loaded into a computer. Does anyone know if this gadget was completed
and if so what it is called and where can it be purchased ???.

it was called silicon film, among other names, and was never anything
more than vaporware.

there are a number of technical issues that preclude it from ever being
practical, and with dslrs today selling for as little as $400-500,
there's very little point in trying to resolve them.
