James Jackson shows what the DigiPod would look like and how it fits inside a film SLR (above). But if the campaign gets a lot of support and exceeds the goal of a thousand backers, the sensor size could increase to 1 inch (2,000 backers) or 4/3 inch (5,000 backers). The DigiPod will use a 2/3-inch CMOS sensor, which is sort of like putting a point-and-shoot inside your SLR, if it reaches it funding goal of £199,000 (approximately $310,000). Operating it couldn’t be any easier: Just press the shutter and “advance the film” as you normally would (of course, you’re not actually advancing anything, but it’s just to tell the camera you’re ready to take the next shot). Because 35mm film is fairly standard, it’d fit inside almost any brand of camera. The DigiPod fits neatly into the cavity of a SLR where a roll of film normally goes. As you probably guessed it, the DigiPod is a device that turns an analog film SLR into a digital camera. We’ve seen a few analog-meets-digital photography concepts looking for folks to back the projects via crowdfunding sites, but the DigiPod on Indiegogo might be the most intriguing yet, especially for owners of film SLRs.
