I read yesterday about a new Kickstarter project: I’m Back Roll APS-C – Digital Film Inside Your Camera by Samuel Mello Medeiros The terrible name aside ("I'm Back"??), the project sounds interesting. In short, it's a roll of digital "film" that you insert into your 35mm film camera, transforming it into a digital camera. So now, instead of taking your photos on film and waiting to have them developed, you can get your photos from your digital "roll" right away. The feature for this is the trend most new cameras are jumping on: that you don't have a screen to give you instant feedback on a photo. Sorry, I should backtrack; that's one of the features, the most prominent being the ability to resurrect film cameras and use them again. The whole "no instant feedback" thing I feel has been added as a reason to pay $450 for this. I won't belabour the point: I think this is an intriguing idea, but misses the point. People are turning to film cameras not because they want to take pictures…
