I believe that's how it works. You have to fit it into an adaptor to download, at least, and possibly also to change settings. This is not so much a problem as it seems, since there is no reason not to open the back, unlike when you have real film loaded!

   Not to mention power requirements...  I don't see where the
battery would fit.

Note that Imagek is using a CMOS sensor, which uses vastly less power than CCD devices. (Although you couldn't tell it by the battery-heavy ViviCam 3100 that I have.) I'l imagine they can power the thing easily enough with a small lithium camera battery.
