But, if the unit is that close to the base, I can see a very simple RF system setup, so it transmits the information to the base unit. If it only needs to be transmitted about 1 inch, it shouldn't be a problem...

This would be great, if it were true. The people who all bought Nikon and Canon Digital SLR's and now their 17mm $2000 lens is a 40mm lens, thanks to the smaller CCD sizes, are all feeling dumb...

 That's one of the worst drawings of a "real" thing I've seen in a long
time, mind you. And what do you want to bet that "Supports "most 35 mm SLRs"
" doesn't include OM?

If you think that is bad look at the siliconfilm.com web site shot with the camera back open. It looks like a roll of film with the leader out with their name on the leader. It promises no modification of the camera, but shows no connection with the bottom unit other than the possible tripod mount and they obviously have not replaced the back or bottom plate with something that provides contacts and mates with the Photoshop created image of their unit. Significant is the plea for "qualified investors".
