You're right about one shot backs as a general comment. But, there are some
scanning backs (and I have one) that are 7k x 7k...and they are VERY good.
They ARE better than any film I use 200 and above ASA, but they are not
better than films below 200ASA. That's a generalization, I know...but it's
purely my observation.
Scanning backs have an added advantage in that they are full color, instead
of the Bayer pattern used in most all one shot cameras (latest Foveon
excluded).
