RE: filmscanners: Any real 4000x6000 camera back???

["Austin Franklin" <darkroom@ix.netcom.com>]

What information can you reference that says that?  Their brochure shows it
as a single sensor, not three sensors and a beam splitter.  If that is true,
then it either take three successive shots, using different color filters
for each shot, or it is NOT a true 4k x 4k pixel back, but a 4k x 4k sensor
back.

It says no where in the documentation I have (user's guide and product
sheet) that it is a multi-exposure back.  I would conclude, without any
further information, that is does use a color quad, and does interpolate the
color information as was speculated in the other post.

BTW, it would be 2000 x 2000, not 1000 x 1000... ;-)
