Anyone aware of new attempted CCD in analog camera now CCD 135 size?
billrule:
I was interested to note in an airport display for Sony(?) cameras that the CCD size has crept up to the original 35mm film size. Surely this overcomes part of the shirtload of hassles involved in developing a "digital backpack" for a classic analogue SLR camera? Besides any of the ill-fated crowd-funded campaigns, anyone aware of some Quixotic attempt to achieve this goal?
Gyro:
I'm sure at one time you could get 35mm CCD back conversions for film SLRs from the manufacturers, I don't know if you still can. Nikon rings a bell.
JacobPilsen:
There are Full-frame DSLR already.
So retrofit is just supply and demand issue.

If this was indeed the case, there are a sad lot of crowdfunders attempting to reinvent the wheel. :-//
Gyro:
I think the crowdfunders main aim is to do it relatively cheaply.

and a Nikon patent from 2012 (more about accurate sensor positioning), with some reference to 2008 too...
