They are a "complete" digital camera system in themselves. They are large and contain a lot of electronics. Some have umbilicals to a computer/memory pack that hangs from your shoulder. The little silicon film thing is a joke. Simply a way to convert a high priced, professional film camera, into a Barbie-Cam. I would rather have the Barbie-Cam.
