eFilm has had some management problems, and are VERY late to market with
their product. Not only is the resolution too low to be considered viable
anymore, the CCD size turns your wide angle lenses into telephotos because
the CCD is much smaller than 24x36mm.
Don't even consider it at this point, it would bring nothing but
disappointment.
