Digital would be pretty close > to APS, I suppose. It seems that when we talk image area we could specify whether we are talking film or pixel arrays.

A large format camera can have a film or digital back as well for better quality. That's how i see it! Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
