You "really" don't need to have a body who talks to the digital
back. Does your camera bodies talk to the film???? Someone can
make a digital back that works the same way as film. You set
shutter speed and aperture in the camera, click, the curtain
opens, the CCD gets some light because of the curtain, it is
triggered by the light level and it send the digital information
to a memory stick. Don't need to much to go to digital.... But,
if you want a LCD display to see the picture, do gamma correction,
crop the image, and send it by e-mail to you address list that is
saved hundred miles away from you.... That is a different point....
