A few years ago when I took basic photo in high school my teacher had mentioned and showed us a device that was made to work in film cameras but took digital photos. It looked similar to a film canister with maybe 2 inches of film extended and was completely rigid. I can't for the life of me remember what it was called and I can't find anything like it online. Anyone able to help?
I'd go back and ask the teacher but he retired a few years ago so I'm out of luck with him.
Also, how much would one go for? I'm getting a new film camera but would like a little freedom of digital still.

i know the thing you mean. i can't remember the name either. i remember it being camera specific though - i.e. will only work in the camera it was designed for. i think it was made by kodak, back when the only digital cameras were canon and nikon film bodies that kodak modified and then resold. this was meant as a stepping stone between film and the 'full' digital version. i'll see what i can dig out, but if i remember correctly they were very expensive...
