Camera conversion.

[Brickie]

Hi Guys.
I am home today because of the heat and am having a bit of a clean up, well ok, the wife is..

I found 2 old 35mm SLR cameras that I havent used for ages and am wondering whats the best way to convert them to digital?

It shouldn't take too much. Firstly you'll an old scanner or an old Palm PDA.

Thanks Midge, but they are too bulky, I want to keep the integrity of the camera..

you just have to buy some digital film to put in it

Mr Brickie, Sire, don't be misled by the rubbish above. This is a non-trivial analogue/digital conversion process. To upgrade the cameras you'll need a steady hand and some very tricky cables. The key is the connection between the on-camera flash terminal and the (hard to come by and might need to be fabricated) ADFI-96L (96pin Logical) output cable. Mr Dick Smith's branch offices would be a good starting point. There's other places but they aren't known to be very helpful.

I've still got 3 film SLRs.
I'm keeping them as they are, just so that my future children can have something to laugh at.
DSLRs are coming down in price so much, I reckon it would be cheaper just to buy new.

You could try blending them

That should digitise them a fair bit

You can convert them very successfully with eBay.......
