Actually, I would buy such a camera provided the film image was recorded as a silver halide image as opposed to a dye based image, as color separations. Given a few years, I would expect it may be possible to take a digital photograph and simultaneously create a "hologram" (fourier transform of the interference pattern) of the image recorded on whatever that decade decided is an archival media. Personally I like physical media: perhaps etching an interference pattern on a gold plated stainless steel sheet. Any comments?

Digital is great but necessity for "high tech" viewing devices is a major problem imo. Not sure anyone would buy a hybrid camera ... anyone? cheerio, andy
