you're wrong!
there some different CCD sizes, from the cheapest digital cameras to some
large format digital backs ...

That would be different "formats"...

but "digital" is not a format. Anyway....
like silver is not a format and so on...

film is almost the same in some different formats like 35, 120, 220, 4x5,
8x10 and so on... while the film is exactly the same (yes, I know
professional film) the format is not...

regards and stop bothering with these questions...
