I believe that the spin generated about it caused much interest but the concept 
was flawed and was not at all likely to ever succeed. Two major sticking points 
before the raft of other technical difficulties being the fact that the sensor 
could never be produced to have similar dimensions to film and secondly that 
there is such variation between the film gate to cartridge distance between 
camera models.
