Despite siliconfilm (-formerly imagek-) being thus far vapor-hardware, my initial post was that I would rather see a digital solution for the camera's that I already carry, than to have to carry yet another body with me if I wanted to capture digital images from the snap of a shutter. IF such a solution cost much more than a Fujileica Digilux, I would as soon get one of those as a toy. Regardless, I completely agree with Mark that a good scanner is the best way to go when you want a digital image of any quality at the technology's current point of development. Considering how long it has taken the best digital technology to advance to just over half the image quality of the cheapest disposable 35mm camera (pixel-wise), the quality scanner route is likely the best way to go for a while. But still, an affordable working CCD option for my M would be a cool toy. Carpe Lumen, Michael E. Berube http://www.goodphotos.com
