Hello /bizz/ers
today i smalltalked with a fellow co-worker. He used to work for the AGFA corporation.
He was in the development department and told me about a prototype, they wanted to bring to the market, when the analog imaging was dying in ~2001. But the run bancrupt before and everything went into the trash.
It was a device you can place into your regular analog camera instead of the filmroll. But it's a digital recording device which transform your camera into a digicam.
actually, i was quite impressed by the idea. But i also think it was too way ahead of time. But maybe +2010 when all the EOS-Hipsters took photos of hipsters taking photos, i think this would have been a bomb.
your thoughts? would today a kickstart work with such a concept? imagine all the hipsters who buy +500$ devices to use the "cool vintag" cameras!

too late. you can buy a digicam for cheap.

what is the argument? you can buy a 21-gear bicyble at wal-mart yet ppl pay 2000$ for a fixed-gear.

This is a vague and therefore dumb idea the way you're putting it across.
"Cool Vintage" isn't enough, I mean 80% of the vintage look of a photo comes from the film, not the lenses.
Also would you sell this technology pre-built? or would hipsters have to put their own chips into their own analog cameras?
What's the form-factor? Will it only work with certain cameras?
Why wouldn't I just go full-hipster and actually develop film with my analog camera? Like, ya know... most hipsters already do?
It sounds like your entire idea is based on the premise that "Hipsters buy stupid shit... so I'll sell stupid shit" when you forget that create a hype, creating a state of mass-delusion that this particular stupid shit is the pinnacle of cool is the key.

he described the device as consisting of two cylnders-shapes and a flat connection piece. so that it has the same shape as a pulled in film in a camera.
no installation but plug/play and remove to put it into the next camera at ease.
do hipsters really develop their films? hard to believe considering their lazyness and technical autismn

There has been at least one such, on indiegogo. Google digipod. It failed to be funded, but who knows?
It's not an especially interesting or good idea desu.
