My wife recently purchased a Kodak Advantix system camera ... in the
documentation
was a Kodak FD-300 ... Film Drive that can take a processed roll of film and
scan it in ... supposedly (according to the docs) it will produce a 2300x1500
dpi
which they claim is equivalent to a 4-MegaPixel digital camera ...
I haven't gotten it (yet) ... I think that would be quite flexable for posting
pictures of
creations ... AND having a 'film' camera ... since the wife is pooing a
digital camera.
