Still too complicated.  APS cameras with MRC is so much easier than any

Anyway you look at it, you will lose one frame.
Change of topic.  The current Shutterbug magazine mentions hybrid cameras
that use film and also storing digital image suitable for e-mail.  It
mentions APS and 35mm potential hybrids.  Can you imagine the stir had
Pentax come out with a 35mm SLR that was a hybrid?
