The DIGI SWAP gadget I reported a few months ago is now listed on Kickstarter for funding. DIGI SWAP promises to bring new life to old film cameras with a patented adapter and app that upcycles film cameras allowing you to use the original camera settings to capture digital photos and video. So far the campaign has raised $18,441 from the original goal of $39,865 with 43 more days to go.
More Kickstarter photo projects can be found here.
