Well, the market for digital in such large format is hardly large.
IIRC a 12mp SLR with 35mm-sized sensor is capable of producing A3 at
300dpi.
For most applications I don't see that even posters (A2, A1) would
justify more resolution than 12mp - you would have to be looking
pretty close to tell the difference.
It is the consumer market driving digital camera sensor development -
take a look at the results from the APS-C-sized sensors in $650 dSLRs.
Stroller.
Err no. I don;'t own a 6*6 camera (although I can
borrow my
father's). I
have a couple of _large format_ (5*4" sheet film) cameras.
In any case there are some decent digital backs (decent as in full
frame
sensor) for 6x6 cameras. They're not what I would call
inexpensive, though.
