A rigid chassis is just as important for a DSLR as a film SLR so a metal body would be desirable bear in mid too that modern cast alloys are near as light as polycarbonate for the same strength. Also the sensors in top end DSLRs require shutters and mirrors just like conventional SLRs therefore the mechanical requirements of the systems are similar.
