Sensor dirty? Just open the back up and
clean it easily. No messing around with myriad
silly controls and menus, just basic, auto or manual
control. Film area becomes the battery compartment
on the left, electronics go in the right film compartment.
Mirror is the same, shutter is the same.
Meanwhile, fully metal, beautifully made reconstructed
SLRs become replacements for all the plastic entry-level
DSLRs, for enthusiasts of course. Why should only cars

There's a real problem with putting he electronics into that film
area; that's a lot of electronics to put into a very small space,
which leads to heat problems.
So, the camera will be slow (to keep heat down), and have a very small
buffer (same reason).
Then, the battery compartment will require a proprietary battery (no
AAs), which will turn a lot of people off right away.
Plus, where to put the memory card?
It's been tried:

I personally hate AA batteries, I'd had enough using four of them in
my old Olympus C-3040. Give me ONE proprietary battery anytime.
As for the digital backs, you are right, there are some pretty
insurmountable obstacles to overcome to do this right.
But as for heat, perhaps the American ideal of the digital camera
is not so good? Black cameras (the majority on the American market
in the prosumer DSLR side) tend to absorb far more heat than silver
ones. Carry a black DSLR around in the sun for awhile and you can
feel how hot it gets. This causes noise levels to rise substantially,
as does cooling a camera causes noise levels to drop. Maybe
(despite its appearance) the silver Rebel XT is the best idea?
But then the plastic body must also act as an insulator, not allowing
heat to escape like a metal body would.
