There are some special scanning cameras also. Most of the time they are 180 or 360 degree panoramic cameras. If you are talking about non-scanning backs, then you have a 2D CCD as found in conventional digital cameras. Just a bit larger. Most likely it would be better to use a Hasselblad H3 or Leica S2 instead of a 2D CCD on a large format camera. The H3 is at 50 MP IIRC. Today a 2D CCD on a large format camera makes only sense if you absolutely need extreme camera movements. On-topc, i.e. 10+ years, scan backs can do what todays high end 2D CCD can do. -- tsch??, Jochen Homepage: http://www.unixag-kl.fh-kl.de/~jkunz/
