Somehow, as a business idea, impressingly imaginative, although the Yashica Y35 campaign, which was recently launched on Kickstarter, is a digital retro camera (for photo only) with below-average technical features such as a 1/3.2" CMOS sensor that wants to combine the charm of the analog with an advantage of the digital, namely the lack of development. The special feature is the so-called DigiFilm, which is inserted into the camera as it was in the past the analogue film reel.
DigiFilm, der in die Kamera eingelegt wird wie früher die analoge Filmrolle.
However, the recorded photos don't end up on this cartridge, but on an SD card -- the "DigiFilm" only contributes the image characteristics, i. e. ISO, color settings and so on, which can normally be set freely via a menu. Not so here: there is only one look for each DigiFilm, but as a user you get all in all a very analog-like handling; an image preview only via a viewfinder, no display of the stored photos because there is no display available, and it must even be transported between each shot by lever of the -- of course not existing -- film...
The camera itself does not cost too much, for 142 dollars you can pre-order it including 2x DigiFilm, but what the DigiFilms with "new" image characteristics will cost later on will not be mentioned. And the financing target? It's cracked, of course. There is simply nothing that this world does not need.
