Nowadays there seems to be an assumption that the only important part is the
electronic part, so perhaps it is taken for granted that you'll just buy
whatever type of body works with your digital back.  Given that the back
probably represents almost the entire price of the system, one can see the
reasoning behind this.

It's like telling you to trade in the Ferrari for a Ford in order to convert
it to a hovercraft.  The Pirelli tires still work on the Ferrari, but they
aren't nearly as sexy as a hovercraft.
