Hi,
why does nobody takes again the idea of the electronic film?

With technologies of today, one could produce a full frame sensor,
make the distance between film-roll and window flexible and here you
are: You would have a nice piece to fit to your SLR.
I have to agree with some of the subsequent postings. Just too many
electronic and mechanical interface requirements. Even if someone
proceeded with that idea, they would have a very small market, have
to design for an incredible number of camera designs, and they could
never compete with the prices of even the top-of-the-line digitals on
the market now.
Sad but true. There are cameras on the market now that do accept
legacy lenses but the legacy lenses don't have the secondary optics
to make the image presented to each pixel in the sensor come in at a
90 degree angle. (I know this is a question in contention, but
Olympus sure makes a case for it- "Digital Lenses".)
