My problem is that I used to work (sort of) for a newspaper, and they had a Nikon F5 (or maybe F4) body with an adapter to make it record images on a digital medium instead of film. It looked like it had an autowinder on the bottom, and I think that it had a CCD that stuck up into the body instead of film; I never had the guts to take it apart as I'm sure that it cost at least $15,000. It all got recorded on a Type-I PCMCIA card that must have had almost no memory at all in it, but this was back in 1993 or so, well before anyone had ever thought of making a consumer digital camera. It was sweet. Of course, I had a chance to play with it again a couple of years ago, well after consumer digital cameras were available, and its image quality was pretty lousy in comparison. Maybe the electronics had gone to pot; I don't know. But being able to put a 400mm telephoto lens on it still rocked.
