Default Turning film cameras into digital cameras

I'd think there'd be real practical problems for many cameras.
First is PRICE - the "film cartridge" would probably cost more than
just a new point-and-shoot digicam if the film camera being converted
weren't an SLR. This would probably be true even of better 35mm non-
SLR film cameras like the Minolta HiMatic ones.
