Saw this early prototype of a new technology code named Flexible Integrated Linear Media that apparently we will see shortly in cameras, it has the following features and advantages:

Integrated sensor
- Allows upgrade to cameras sensor without buying a new camera
- Can purchase with specific dedicated behaviour (i.e Black and White) and ISO speeds
- No need to sensor clean as this is single use

Built in storage
- Storage for 12, 24 or 36 RAW images regardless of the sensor type and resolution

This really is quite cool, they are also talking about setting up a network of shops that you can take the cartridges to and they will do all your post processing and provide you with a set of prints for a minimal cost, will save heaps of time.

Also as they are all single use there is no need to full up your harddisk with images.

Can't wait for this to happen :D

By the way got a photo on my crappy cell phone camera of the prototype, it is an interesting barrel design with the interface appearing as a brown piece of cellulose plastic, quite different from anything else I have seen:

I'm no engineer, but It's difficult to see how sensors could be any more upgradeable than microprocessors are in computers. Limited upgrading is usually possible, but significant leaps in processor technology always require evolving technical infrastructure to support it -- more circuits, different termination methods, changing form factors, faster I/O, etc. Replacing a sensor and motherboard is more likely. But even that upgrade does not address other improvements, such as larger, finer LCDs, improved ergonomics, better flash technology, etc.

Either you missed the image or your deadpan is excellent ;)

I wonder of the new mystery "Destined Evolution" Canon uses this F.I.L.M technology?
