===Typical backs===
{{Update|inaccurate=yes|section|date=October 2011}}
By 2006 CCD matrix camera backs of 39 megapixels<ref name=cramer/> were available. using the Kodak CCD and 33-megapixel Dalsa CCD in the Sinar 75 and in the Leaf Aptus 75 (6726&nbsp;× 5040 pixels, with 7.2-micrometre-wide pixels). By 2008 several camera manufactures were developing larger camera backs based on the Kodak 50-megapixel CCD{{Citation needed|date=October 2011}}. Scanning backs are a narrower niche, used only for the highest-quality images with large-format cameras. [[Sinar]] continued their development of the step and repeat system of extending the CCD capabilities (macroscanning) with the arTec camera which creates a panoramic image with stitching technology.

In addition to increased resolution, larger image sensors are becoming available; Kodak has produced a 50-megapixel CCD which is 49.1&nbsp;× 36.85&nbsp;mm (1.93&nbsp;× 1.45″), approaching the size of a frame of [[120 film]] (60&nbsp;× 45&nbsp;mm) and is twice the area of a [[35 mm format|35&nbsp;mm]] frame (36&nbsp;× 24&nbsp;mm), and over seventy times the area of the typical 1/1.8″ (7.2&nbsp;× 5.3&nbsp;mm) sensor size used in point-and-shoot pocket cameras. Large-area CCDs are used by the several manufacturers of high-resolution photographic equipment. Other recent innovations are built-in LCD viewing screens and the inclusion of all processing within the camera back, with output in open DNG file format, as in the Sinar 65.

The [[Pentacon]] Scan 7000 scanner camera was introduced at the [[photokina 2010]] show in Cologne, Germany. Its resolution is 20,000&nbsp;× 20,000 pixels (400 megapixels) in 48-bit color depth, and it is supplied with the [[SilverFast]] Archive Suite. One scanned exposure at this high image resolution might take 2 to 4 minutes.
