This was the Imagek EFS (Electronic Film System) originally shown at the DIMA conference early 98. It was subsequently shown over the years at a number of exhibitions, always with an imminent commercial launch date. As time went by, it's relatively low resolution (as far as I recall it was sub megapixel) and the fact that there would have to be specific versions for different camera platforms, made it less and less interesting.
A few years ago I read an article about a digital capture device that
basically converted an film-based SLR to a digital camera. It looked like a
35mm film cassette with its leader out, and indeed was designed to fit into
the film bay of a conventional 35mm camera. I was interested because it
seemed like a good way to go digital whilst retaining my beloved EOS 5.
I seem to remember it went through a name change - or even a company change. I haven't heard any mention of it for quite a long time now.
An interesting concept but I would imagine fraught with technical and practical implementation problems.
