I think the 'film' wind is still necessary to cock the shutter mechanism...
which is still mechanical. No motor in there, and none needed since there's
nothing to 'advance', but the shutter still needs winding. I suppose you
could use an electric solenoid to do it (is that how the E-1 mirror
works...?) but that would use up the batterys. I didn't care for the
'chronometer' style readout on top, seems like you could get better quality
information from an LCD. But overall its intriguing, and I'm going to be
watching to see how much it costs and if it sells...
