Convert Your Old Film SLR Into a Digital Camera with the DigiPod
PETAPIXEL ^ | August 16, 2013 | DL Cade

Posted on 08/16/2013 8:38:01 PM PDT by SWAMPSNIPER

The idea of fitting electronics into a film SLR in order to capture digital photos with it is not new. The thing is, most of the ideas we’ve shared ranged from April Fools jokes to promising concepts that never seem to advance beyond that.

The DigiPod is the first product we’ve seen actually become a reality. It’s a digital cartridge that fits inside your old film SLR, and if it makes it to market, it could be quite groundbreaking.

Time to corner the market on film Nikons on craigslist.

You can do this very easily with a medium format SLR like a Mamiya 645, but to have this available for a 35mm SLR is very interesting.

I have a sweet old Canon AE1 with a 400mm lens (among others, of course) I have had for many years. I’ve taken some prize-winning photos with it, but have often wished since the digital revolution that it was digitized. My son is a pro in Denver, and he has the Canon EOS. A very impressive unit.

Or go micro-4/3 format. With a $20 adapter (brand specific) you can use all your old lenses.

I have a Bell & Howell Auto 35, which as I understand was the prototype of the Canon AE1. (I don't know if that was true or not.) I got it in 1972, and have always loved it. AFAIK, the main difference was only the front element of the lens was changeable.

My brother worked for a start up company seems like a decade ago that was working on this and had functional prototypes. The company was driven into bankruptcy by a couple of employees that were ex Kodak, you figure out why. When it was time to liquidate assets these two tried to get the goods for cheap and the judge basically told the to them to take a hike.
I am surprised it has taken this long for it to resurface.

My Hasselblad 501C is in need of a digital conversion. The problem is the digital backs can set you back $10,000. I know there is a market for the digital conversion of their film camera. The faster such devices become available, the better.

That digital back cost so much because that sensor is huge (it matches the dimensions of a medium format film frame) and has a lot of bit depth. That said, I have seen some of the lower megapixel backs come down as higher and higher megapixel backs make it to market.

Speaking of Hasselblad, their top-of-the-line camera sports a 200megapixel back! It is yours for a mere 45 grand.

I love the idea, just..the lack of details and specifications really makes me nervous, especially as I'm less than enamored by Indiegogo to begin with (mostly because they take your money the moment you pledge, vs Kickstarter and the Amazon Payments that takes the money at the conclusion of the campaign (if successful.))

What I didn't see on the page was anticipated battery life (standby and how many pictures you can expect to take..), format of pictures, anticipated pixel sizes, etc. I also don't think he's given much thought about how he'd deliver 1,000 packages much less 5,000 packages.

I'm all for supporting inventors, and this project fills a void that really does need to be filled. But I really think he needs to collaborate with someone else..

The biggest bell and whistle I see missing from this project: Bluetooth 4.0 - view pictures on a smart phone as they are taken, change ASA settings, monitor battery power. That right there would double the functionality with very little additional hardware cost.

An inductive charging circuit would also help; strap on an external battery pack to the back of the camera and the film pod picks up the energy and charges the internal battery.

“Time to corner the market on film Nikons on craigslist.”

Only if they can keep the pricepoint low on this new device. If they charge over $300 for one, the Craigslist buyers will be better off just buying a real dslr.

It will be great if this comes to fruition. I’ve got a big collection of vintage Nikons and some legendary Nikkor lenses. DSLRs never appealed to me because they seem so complicated. I understand film, shutter speeds, F-stops, and mechanical cameras. I have trouble wrapping my mind around digicams but if one of my old cameras could “go digital” I’d sure be willing to try it. In the meantime, I’ll stick with film.

Maybe they can repurpose the camera body’s lever that advances the film. Place a mini generator in the right side of the cartridge. To generate some juice, the user just needs to crank that lever a few times, which spins the mini generator in the cartridge.

That’s one of the beauties of this cartridge: It’ll let you switch easily between digital and film and back again. You’ll always be able to swing both ways.

The aim of this paper is to establish whether Frugal innovation can also be Disruptive innovation. For this purpose, two lesser-known frugal inventions have been selected and critiqued against the criteria of disruptive innovation. Frugal-innovations, with their genesis mainly in India, are accordingly becoming popular in emerging and developed economies due to their lower costs and no frills structure. By studying a variety. Frugal innovation.
