What about a reflex camera with a CCD? It’s mechanical in that it moves the mirror out of the way to expose the digital censor. I’d call that a digital camera because the output is digital.

ETA: AAMOF, we called them Digital Cameras when they first arrived.

The sensor is not mechanical. That's why it is digital
