Hrmm, min skoltyska är lite rostig och därför översatte jag den till engelska med bablefish, kanske inte den bästa översättningen...:
For due being astonished provided on the heurigen CeBIT above all an innovation: Those world-wide first digital film cartridge. it carries the mysterious name " EFS-1 ". world premiere celebrated and attracted many interested visitors. Which photographers regarded up to now still as a beautiful fairy tale, was to become with the EFS-1 reality. For a long time she was already announced, now she was to however actually come. As manufacturing firm SILICONE of FILM goes into action. Nevertheless the findigen technical designers behind the product could to the successful beginning equal an honor of the " DIMA " (= " digitally Imaging marketing Association ") on the " PMA 2001 Convention " in Orlando (Florida) clear. As necessary criteria of such an honor of the DIMA among other things completely new technology, high quality as well as the promisingness of the innovation are indicated. Other winners were by the way Adobe, Kodak, Minolta, Nikon and Polaroid.
The basic principle of the EFS-1 is actually quite fast avowed: Instead of a complete digital camera one acquires only the memory " EFS-1 " in the outside form of a miniature film. One does not insert the digital film cartridge then simply like a conventional film into the similar camera, it exists any mechanical or electronic connection between cartridge and camera. It is not necessary also to make any modifications at the similar camera. Inside the EFS-1 are electronics, the memory with a capacity of nevertheless 64 MB and two button cells, which take over the current supply. The MCOcS IMAGE SENSOR supplies with dimensions of picture area of 1.3 million pixel. Up to 24 pictures with a dissolution of 1.280 x 1,024 pixels and a depth of shade of 24 bits fit on the cartridge. These will be stored completely in an unfinished way, kept the graphic data first in that especially for it intended " (e)box. ". In further consequence the data must over a special " (e)port. " at CompactFlash. Cards of the type II to be transferred. Additionally a further possibility consists of it attaching the digital film over a special PC Card adapter or over a US B interface to the computer.
The condition of the made accommodations goes basically into order, expert awards the new EFS-1 into approximately that quality, which can be supplied also by digital cameras with a comparable dissolution. At the moment one knows the EFS-1 in the main in the NIKON F3, in which NIKON F5, in the NIKON F90, begin in the CANON EOS-1N as well as in the CANON EOS 5.
Soberly regarded one must understand the EFS-1 naturally also as interesting competition to the digital camera: After the " filmless devices " sell themselves to just as high battery consumption in the meantime despite high prices and with every now and then quite durchwachsener image quality with all groups of buyers halfway well, there is an alternative now for the first time. Whether itself the digital film cartridge will be able to intersperse EFS-1 in the long run also in the hard everyday life of a photographer and a " niche product " will remain not bare, remains still being waiting however for the time being. The alleged price of approximately 2,000 DM is still at the moment plentifully high nevertheless. Enticing however already is the conception for many photographers: By a simple handle the similar mirror reflex camera into a " digital camera " to transform to be able, is thus no longer longer only a beautiful fairy tale.
