Well as virtually every digital enthusiast enthuses, the GREATbenefit of 
digital, other than being able to send instant photos of baby wetting diapers to 
grandma and grandpa is the fact that you can stare at the back of the camera 
and get "instant" feedback on your shot.   

Now if this digital back doesn't have a preview mode, then the main benefit 
is that you can shoot traditional and then swap it out for digital at the same 
time.
