Actually close to the mark, only not TLRs. Digital-capable medium
format SLRs, and large format view or field cameras with
interchangeable backs, will allow analogue and digital capture with
the same camera setup if you really must. Shoot film in one magazine,
swap to a digital back and repeat the shot. Medium format film and
digital frames have become close in size these days. If you shoot 6cm
x 4.5 cm you can get practically identical film frames and digital
files. AFAIK, single shot large format backs are very cropped
compared to their full frame, however scanning backs can yield full
frames at the penalty of long exposure durations.
