From my understanding of the S1, it is similar to other scanning backs, in that exposures are very long, on the order of minutes, so it would be impossible to shoot a live model. The CCD is linear, and the image is scanned over the CCD. For those out there who have actually seen/used it, feel free to correct me where I am inaccurate. Dan C.
