If they did that, it would not be a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) now would it? Yes, they could, and maybe will, make a high-quality interchangable-lens digital viewfinder camera similar to the current Contax G2 film camera. But that camera would not be a DSLR by definition.

I suspect there's a chicken-and-egg argument here. There are

several other good reasons for keeping the mechanical-shutter design of DSLRs (not least of which is dust control), so there is no need to use fast-clear sensors; the sensor is in the dark (and cleared?) at all times except when the exposure is made. But it would be quite easy to build a DSLR around a sensor with characteristics similar to that in the PowerShot G5 were it to be deemed appropriate.

You think? Well, if possible, then someday they certainly will do it.
