Leica made a hybrid!

The idea didn't seem to catch on, I'm guessing because the digital back cost twice as much as the camera. I'd love to have one, just for the hell of it. I might even take pictures with it.

Link doesn't work... What's the name I'll google it...

Digital Modul R. Fits both the R8 and R9, and has a 10 megapixel Kodak crop sensor. I'm not sure if you can switch between film and digital in the field though. It's kind of a silly contraption; it reminds me of the Speed Magny for Nikons that has an enlarger lens inside and loses something like five stops of light.

How about the Nikon E digital camera which has the reduction lens to reduce the full frame 35mm down to fit the tiny sensor. Although the sensor is smaller than that of the APS-C size there is no crop factor because of the reduction optics in the camera.

Ha, I've only read about those. Wasn't there a variant that was B&W only and used CCTV technology? The camera bodies look obese. Very cool though.

I meant like same image from the same click. As in you take the picture and the film exposes and so does the digital sensor, if movie cameras can do it at 60/fps then surely a stills camera could be made like that.

I thought they used a video camera that was mounted to the movie camera to do that? No?

Not on today's cameras, at least the high end ones, I only work on large budget movies ($1,000,000 to $500,000,000 budget movies) and the film cameras all have like a floating shutter mirror, so in between shutter clicks (in between frames) a second mirror projects the image onto a sensor then back to the film for the next frame. It's REALY fast, about 1/3 the time it takes for a single frame to go, so if its 24/fps (standard movie) it's 1/3 that speed between frames, but I've seen up to 60/fps cameras that had that video feed function

F3 does not have a flash shoe, nor 1/250 flash sync. I had a pair of Nikon f3 bodies for years and I got really annoyed at times.

But more than anything... Time lapse... I don't for the life of me understand why they can't have an internal timer that allows for you to take an image every 10 minutes or 30 minutes or every hour, it would be easy to program. Drives me nuts....

I remember I bought a compact samsung in the early nineties that had this feature. I would set it to take a snapshot every thirty minutes and mount it on a tripod and turn it off. Every 30 minutes it would spring back to life, the lens extends and it takes a shot and then the lens retracts back and it shuts itself off waiting for another 30 minutes to elapse before doing the same thing again. It was a nice feature that I put to use maybe once or twice! If it also had anti-theft alarm it would be setting now at the back of my camera closet.
