In our times where the prevalence of digital imaging has all but consigned the practice of using physical film to the vaults of history this particularly novel (and distinctly non-digital) camera seems to take particular pride in coming from a retro angle in not only masquerading as a roll of 35mm film - albeit rather a large one - but in shunning digital technology altogether as the camera
itself actually relies on 35mm film to capture imagery.
Transformer camera - digital
At first, very much like our friends over at Technabob, we did wonder whether this could somehow result in a somewhat Babushka Doll type of affair, with another camera being hidden within the 35mm film this 35mm film themed camera relies on but, obviously, this is not the case.
Known as the Transformer Camera this curious device, which comes with flash and a 12 megapixel CMOS sensor complete with dual image stabilisation (no, obviously, I jest with respect to the latter) is presently on sale in Korea where it’ll set you back roughly the equivalent of $20.
