Has the digital film project just fixed one of its most annoying problems?

Image: I'm Back Crowd-funded startup I'm Back has developed a clever fix for one of the drawbacks that photographers have pointed out in their digital module for film cameras. The I'm Back Roll, which is currently approaching $1M of backing on Kickstarter, is a self-contained APS-C sensor module designed to fit into the film bay of legacy 35mm film cameras.

The company has designed a clever workaround: a shutter button t
