Advertisement Posted June 10, 2007 Posted June 10, 2007 Hi dkCambridgeshire, Take a look here M3 with a digital back. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
marknorton Posted June 10, 2007 Share #2 Posted June 10, 2007 LOL, I think field durability will be an issue. Not quite ready for Prime Time... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstotler Posted June 11, 2007 Share #3 Posted June 11, 2007 Gotta admire the can-do spirit at work here. If some guy with a $19 disposable digital camera, a few tools, duct tape (!), and a shutter release cable can get something working. . . . (Note: "Working" is not "usable" or "good." Just "working.") Makes you wonder what a third-party developer with more resources could pull off. Wonder what an X Prize equivalent would do if announced at RFF or here?

luigi bertolotti Posted June 11, 2007 Share #4 Posted June 11, 2007 ... Really, when I look at the superbulky interchangable film back of my Contarex, I often say to myself : "Damn, I bet one could engineer a 10 MP Digital back of this size, fitting into..."

Riley Posted June 11, 2007 Share #5 Posted June 11, 2007 i read the whole thing maybe this is him too Leica and Rangefinders Forum: M2aD Project, Silicon Porn! - photo.net what hes about is a FF M3, 14Mp B&W sensor huw finneyphoto.net patron prolific poster, Jan 24, 2006; 12:35 p.m. Brad, The LTC2884 dual 14 bit, two of them as this chip has four outputs. Using this ADC I can shift the DCs of the sensor and ADC and the range of the ADC to remove the need for extra amplifiers/DC offsetters. Working at 10Msamp/sec as recomended by the sensor datasheet. Other chips are an Altera EP1C6 144TQFP FPGA to do all the clever stuff, a Micron tech MT46V32M16 dram for 'burst' storage, and in the end being put on a MMC Flash card.
