I'm not even asking for that much...

... there were plans in a kind of startup to make a digital 35 mm cartridge 
compatible with any film camera (much like Leia digital slr back) ; I'd love 
that. But as far as I know, it was projected to be too expensive to make a 
hit in the consumer base, and too sensitive to misplacement to give top 
results. If only olympus would make an OM digital back... but that's not 
going to happen.
