MP guy, that link is, with hindsight, the most depressing thing I've ever read!!

[FONT="]Or some variation of ‘digital film’. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Perhaps some sort of substrate; film like transducer that had similar light gathering properties of B&W film, using particles (equivalent to silver crystals in film) that held latent image info temporarily, passing the info to a second transducer that was located beneath the substrate which converted the analog data before re-setting the particles for the next capture.[/FONT]
[FONT="]This would allow for very short register distances like film because the light gathering particles would be larger multifaceted shapes like those used in film. This would allow the transducer to be used in any film camera without worry of register distances or focal length. Available now with improved high iso ORGANIC grain!

You actually just answered my back-of-the-mind question of why a sensor is so much different than film when it comes to wide-angle lenses situated close to the focal plane... Thx!

I just wish someone would invent a high resolution sensor, perhaps mounted on an inexpensive and flexible backing, that was durable, tolerant of wide temperature ranges, had zero power consumption, fit in a wide range of existing cameras, able to function with a wide variety of lenses, sensitive over a wide range of lighting conditions, and preferably, cheap.
Oh, wait....

If they'd make it forever, that'd be nice, too.
Corollary: I wish someone would make film with super-fine grain! Oh, wait, no, that'd be abhorrently "plastic."
