 How about rpd.system-cameras?  That's what we're talking about here, 
 cameras that are part of a complete system of backs, lenses, etc. 
  
 It tosses out the nasty digital slrs with only one non-interchangeable 
 lens, particularly a zoom lens, which seems important to some of the 
 more vocal here.  Not that I can see the objection, because I take 
 most of my photos with a Nikon body, film or digital, and an 43-86 
 zoom lens (they don't make them like that any more).
