Something to the tune of 37mm square at the minimum I think. Those are coming down and have approached certainly the price of a Canon S. body. Some calcs: 23.7 * 15.6 = 369.72 24 * 36 = 864 37 * 37 = 1369 Hasselblad Ixpress V96C $9.7k There are smaller ones for cheaper. 49 * 36.7 = 1798.3 Sinar Back 54M 15-20k Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
