A crude (certainly not fit and finished like a sleek, 1970's rangefinder)
little digital camera with a phone sensor, with which in order to change
modes (ISO, etc) you need to open the camera back and insert fake "film"
cartridges!! All to give you the feel of shooting film again. Personally, I'd
stick to digital cameras and use a used film camera with actual film to get
an "effect." In reality, it's like something you used to get free with a
"Time-Life" magazine subscription in the mid 1990's.

I have a feeling you posted the wrong URL. Was this the one you had in mind?

If so, I already have a perfectly good 46 year old Yashica Electro 35 which
can shoot actual 35mm film.

For all other stuff I have my various digital cameras and AlienSkin ExposureX
if I am looking for a film emulation.

I still have my Minox GT in a box somewhere... It traveled the continent
in my jeanspcket and look like a pack of Marlboro so people constntly
asked me for a smoke! :-o Very good camera. SLR quality pics...
It replaced the Rollei 35T that i lost in a robbery in Morocco. Don't
mess around with dudes with knifes. Even if you are likely to win, you
vision could dim... :-ppp

This idea has so many things wrong with it! If you're going to do the
film cassette thing, at least put the SD memory in the cassette, along
with a usb connection to dump the photos to your computer.

that is one of the dumbest ideas i've seen in a very long time. what's
worse is that it's from an established company rather than a bunch of
hipsters who don't know any better.

I was going to say how are the mighty fallen. Like the Duck, I still
have my Electro 35cc which was in many ways the most useful film camera
I ever owned. I'm still using a ten year old small sensor digital (Ixus
850 IS) which is pretty much it's modern equivalent, when I just need a
pocket camera.

I got my Ixux 50 replaced, sorta with the 70 when a battery battery
failed. I always get myself at least two. As it turned out the cheapest
way to replace it was getting a used 70 and thus the 50 got retired! I
found the Xperia M4 to be the Pocket Instamatic replacement, but the EOS
M is with me often enough and that is the camera that I use the most.
The Ixus 70 takes great pictures for it's size though. It's even smaller
than your 850!

Nothing wrong with that!

I'm old fashioned though, I hate anything without a proper viewfinder.
That said, I was doing macro beyond 1:1 (based on screen size) with its
big brother the G10 for forensic engineering at a nuclear power station
only last week, and of course you have to frame macros using the screen
rather than the viewfinder because of parallax error.

I think it's the intended customers who are the "hipsters" who don't
know any better.
