> No, they are chips, and making large defect free chips is hard. Chips are best small. That's true. But you can sometimes assembly lots of small chips into one larger sensor and solve a lot of the issues doing that causes in software after the fact. I suspect it doesn't exist because the market is tiny and the R&D too expensive, rather than it being an inherent problem with the tech' itself. I just don't think enough people, even pros, would spend $20K+ on one of these to justify the engineering, software, and marketing that went into it (and the level or risk). > You can get large format scanner backs, but they take time to scan. So recreating the original experience of large format then? :)
