Digital 35mm Camera????

[realworld]

Hey Everyone....

Is there such a thing as having a 35mm camera which is also digital? If the answer is yes :-) can you let me know what model out there is good or whatever?

Thanks lots!!

As far as good quality recent stuff goes....
Leica R8 or R9 SLR body $3000 Here

Leica Digital Modul R digital back. $6,000. Here

Don't forget a lens...starting at $1250 Here. Lenses up to $8000 lens only, or up to $18,500 for lens head+focus module.


Some of the early Kodak hybrid digital cameras could be converted back to the film body... but this is *early* as in 10yrs old easily.

Does anyone remember in about...98' ? The big hubub about a comapny creating cartridges that fit into the film compartment of a 35mm, but had a CCD in place of the film plane? "Convert your old film SLR into a digital!"

shame it turned out to be a scam...

I remember reading a thread about that a while back. You can read it here.

I don't think one of the links in that thread works anymore but you can find the company at www.side.com
