Your Old Film Camera Can Now Shoot 4K Video and 26MP RAW Files Without Any Modifications. Here's How. - Yanko Design

"Medeiros decided to use that space where the film cartridge would go, and create a retrofittable module that turns any analog camera into a digital one. The module slides into the film chamber of any compatible 35mm film camera, and packs a Sony IMX571, a 26.1-megapixel back-illuminated APS-C sensor along with up to 256FB of internal storage, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and a rechargeable battery. Dubbed the “I'm Back Roll APS-C”, it's designed to be compatible with cameras from Canon, Nikon, Leica, Pentax, Olympus, Minolta, and dozens of others."

"Just put the module into the film canister and you're ready to shoot. The camera goes untouched. The shutter fires the same way it always did. Images accumulate on internal storage and transfer wirelessly once the shoot wraps. Nothing hangs off the body. Nothing changes on the outside. Future-proofing at its finest."

"At the heart of I'm Back Roll is the Sony IMX571, a professional APS-C sensor used in astronomy cameras, where image quality is pushed to its absolute limits. Astrophotography demands sensors that extract clean signal from vanishingly faint sources, which requires exactly the qualities that make a sensor excellent for general photography: low noise, wide dynamic range, and clean performance at elevated ISO. The IMX571 is a back-illuminated design, meaning the photodiodes are ex"

A retrofittable module turns compatible 35mm analog cameras into digital cameras by sliding into the film chamber where the film cartridge normally sits. The module, called “I'm Back Roll APS-C,” uses a Sony IMX571 26.1-megapixel back-illuminated APS-C sensor and includes up to 256GB of internal storage, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, and a rechargeable battery. The original camera body remains untouched, with the shutter firing the same way as before and the manual controls continuing to function. Captured images are stored internally and transferred wirelessly after shooting. The module is designed to fit many brands including Canon, Nikon, Leica, Pentax, Olympus, Minolta, and others. The sensor’s astronomy-grade performance supports low noise, wide dynamic range, and clean high-ISO results.
