With modern technology - I would have thought it possible to put all the
electronics in a film canister with a film thin sensor maybe fixed iso or
switchable, capture only raw image storage and battery for maybe 100 shots and
then no camera modifications are needed - processing can all be done out of
camera - just literally make a direct replacement for 35mm film canister
With best regards
