Perhaps a film module too!

Of course. I'm thinking more in terms of making certain parts of the
body replaceable - typically the sensor itself and the A/Ds. So you
wouldn't have B&W, night time and high speed camera bodies, but one body
with interchangable B&W, night time and high speed modules (that would
fit in your pocket.) If done the right way, switching between those
would be at least as convenient as the camera control fiddling that you
otherwise have to do. (Although having to bring separate units if of
course a bit of an inconvenience in its own right.)
And while we are dreaming, how about a storage medium where you can -
like with film - tell what the contents are merely by looking at it, and
also produce images by direct projection? Possibly in combination with
the sensor. This might be a bit like the "electronic paper" some people
are working on, only in a sense the other way around (you would
obviously want to read the data back, too - but perhaps they're alrady
planning that for electronic paper?)
