Give it up. No manufacturer is going to waste the time or money developing a digital back or insert for 35mm cameras. Digital sensors are power hungry beasts. They require lots of inputs and outputs. You don't want the average consumer to have to deal with the fragile sensor surface, dust issues, etc. There are too many technical and marketing hurdles to overcome for such a solution to be feasible. If you want digital, buy a digital body. --Mike
