RE-35 Digital Film Cartridge Promises To Convert Any Old School Camera To The Digital Age

Re 35 RE 35 Digital Film Cartridge Promises To Convert Any Old School Camera To The Digital Age

Update: It’s an April Fool’s joke.  So sorry.

We’re taking this piece of kit with a grain of salt and we suggest that you do the same considering it was announced on April Fool’s day.

The RE-35 Digital Cartridge fits inside any 35mm point and shoot camera, the film type, but instead of using celluloid to record image there is a “pull out” digital sensor that captures and transfers stills to the cartridges on-board memory.  While we don’t have any evidence to prove the product to be vaporware, the idea that a “pull out” sensor would actually work and not easily get broken is more than a stretch of the imagination.  Assuming it does work, a USB interface transfers the images to a connected computer.

Our final words: keep dreaming.
