The problem of digital backs for SLRS cameras is one of economics, primarily, and technical difficulty, secondarily. Why build an interchangeable back for nearly the same price when a film body will be worn out in professional use in just a few years - that's the economics Issue.
The technical issue means having to cope with integration and all that dust. James
