How 'bout we replace our film pressure plates with that CCD? String some
wire through the bottom plate to a memory module. Given Olympus' skill at
miniaturization, the whole affair should be scarcely any larger than a motor
drive.
OTOH, until someone designs digital emulation of film - Virtual Velvia,
Virtual Portra, etc. - I'm not switching anyway.

6 Megapixels in a modified Nikon 35mm body. I assume it uses the
Philips 3kx2k FTF3020C CCD. <A

Crucially this CCD chip is exactly 36x24mm in size. I wonder why? :-)
I have had a play with one in a shop. Very nicely done.>>
Can Olympus give Philips a call?
