So done in Tim Burton's full-lenght stop-motion animated movie Corpse Bride:

Corpse Bride has a surprising choice of camera for feature cinematography - the Canon EOS-1D Mark II - a commercial digital SLR camera designed for still photography. This is a tremendous change in the state-of-the-art from five years ago, when Aardman Animations used custom-built film camera heads based on converted Mitchell cameras for the animated feature Chicken Run. The ancient Mitchells were chosen because the pin registration system was more accurate than any modern motion picture film camera. Finding that same sort of repeatable, rock-solid precision in digital SLR cameras would be a challenge.
