Re: OT - Well, this is weird
I like shooting with a film camera too on occasion, have several with film in them, but this is to a film camera what a baby alligator is to a puppy.

Well there are a good number of people who have pledged good money for this gimmick surrounding a tiny sensor.

Re: OT - Well, this is weird
This is damned near the silliest thing I have ever seen. A digital camera for film hipsters who can't be bothered with all that messy film developing, a fashion statement for Japanese teens, and an over priced toy who's function is duplicated by a smart phone. This is a device for people with more money than brains.
