P3D One more new product

[Lawrence W Kaufman <kaufman3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

A digital solution for photographers unwilling
to part with their 35 mm cameras may be
available to photo supply (and consumer
electronics) dealers/retailers sometime late this
summer. It should probably work in old 1950
style stereo cameras.

A megapixel "film pack" (a cartridge shaped
like a roll of 35 mm film) is in development
by Imagek, the Costa Mesa, California based
electronic imaging unit of Irvine Sensors Corp.
The EFS-1 pack is a 1.3 million-pixel imaging
and storage device that fits into a film cavity
of a 35 mm camera. It is being billed as a way
to convert any 35 mm camera immediately into
a digital camera.

The device is battery operated and self-contained.
It has a high-resolution (1280x1024) CMOS sensor,
gets 24 bit color resolution, stores 30 images
and is reusable up to 100 thousand times! These
features along with a standard PC connection
are all expected to be on the product when it
becomes available.
