I'm confused. What's different about the construction of a DSLR vs. a film SLR, except that there's a sensor in the same location that the film would reside? The shutter, mirror, and mirror box are pretty much the same.

The lens bends light rays around and shoots them out the back of the lenses mount. The tilt affects the angle at which they emerge. The shift affects which portion of the image circle is used. How does what's behind the lens mount change any of this?

There's also all those extra electronics in a DSLR but they don't affect this discussion.
