Scary thing is that there probably are ten amateur photographers who would pay that.
And then take really boring pictures with it.
The thing that is goofy is there are no pictures from from the back itself. For all we know it generates a 1024 x 818 jpg, hahaha.
Still, the Impossible Project is selling old 8x10 Polaroid for $43 a sheet, compared to the $15 per he used in rationalizing it.
And he's just using it for proofing!

That was the part that got me. Because he's running out of Polaroid for proofing, if I scanned the article accurately.
I wonder what the file size of a scan from that is??

Yup, he needs an 810 digital back.
Him and a handful of other guys.
Not my style, but much of what he does is frickin' awesome.
With that client list, he's right to have two of those backs.
The biggest sensor I've seen data sheets for was a (IIRC) 24MP 5x5". If that sensor has a similarly low (or even proportionally lower) resolution, it won't be of much use as a 8x10" film replacement - no wonder it is a proofing solution only.
