New Kickstarter project promises digital back for Nikon 35mm film cameras

Looks clunky and 16mp jpg only.

Just a gimmick. Save your money and buy a used D3100 and get better results.

I struggle to see the market for it,the users that still want to use the SLR i would have thought do it because they want to use film,if it had been the right price all those years ago when i had my F3 that may have been different.

Still have my old F3 and FE2 love to use them as digital cameras. Awesome idea. Please refine the design so it is more elegant to use daily.

I can only see this as an expensive fad,hope ime wrong but don't think i am, i remember the saying "just because you can doesn't mean you should"

Too little too late. If this had been available before I got my D200, I would have loved to convert my F100 to digital. But now, I am sure my 24M D7200 will shoot circles around this 16M toy.

Hello guys!
I'm Samuel, and I'm Back creator. My product is just an accessory to bring the old digital life to life while retaining the look of an analogue photo. But as I said, I do not want to compete or do anything better than our 25 mpx (or more) digital cameras. My only desire is, if possible, to reconnect people (normal users of cameras, who now use only the cell phone) to the world of analog cameras, beauty, and mechanics that has been parked for all these years. Only that. Actually the cool thing about I'm Back is that anyway brings back that taste of the "not perfect" and that "I got it!" "the photo came out good" ... I thought it would not come out ... finally memories of a time that is gone. Ok, its my opinion. (the exemple: photos made by the Lomograph, not beautiful but cool!). hug.

Look my photo by Nikon F nikkor 50mm f1.2 + Im Back™:

Likewise for me, great idea, but also 20 years too late for me. Best of luck.

It's not too late for someone who has one or more analogous bodies with good lenses. It's not perfect, but it's beautiful! ;-) In the last few years we have talked a lot about megapixels and little composition and beauty, I do not know, it's a bit what I feel. Maybe it's time to take a picture again in the 70's (I understand it as an observation ability and a quick click). I think a photo can pass more than just megapixels, but it can and should convey a feeling. And that's not what I say but Oliverio Toscani!

I'll do my best! Hug!

I dunno. Modern entry-level digital bodies are a dime a dozen these days. My current film collection works just fine, and they actually shoot with film.
