Is it possible to convert a film slr camera to digital? |
Is it possible to convert a film slr camera to digital? NO Maybe, but it would probably be a lot cheaper to just buy the digital. I know if you get your film developed at a place, anywhere they develop pictures, pharmacy's ect, they can put it on a disc for you for your computer, I guess that makes them digital!! Good luck! Several years ago, someone had a plan to come out with "digital film." You would put it in the film chamber of an SLR and it had an image sensor that lined up with the shutter and it stored the images in flash memory where the film cannister would sit. Batteries resided where the take-up spool was. They advertised it very heavily in camera magazines, but it never came to fruition. I don't think it ever worked the way they thought it would. The simple answer for many makes of cameras is, No. I take it that you want to be able to switch from film to digital. Hassleblad cameras will take digital backs, and Leica (DMR) has developed a digital back for their R8 & R9 range, and you can get digital back for Mamiya 645, but they are very expensive (around $5000 for the DMR alone). It is called a film scanner, unless your talking Hasselblad. Phase One makes a digital back for it for a few grand. simple answer would have to be no. I have never heard of it being possible except with cameras able to change their backs. |
