Some studio cameras have been developed from the ground up to work around a particular capture technology. This was a particularly popular approach amongst early designs; however it lead to cameras that were visually and functionally very different to traditional cameras. It has now become apparent that most professional photographers are more comfortable with cameras that look and handle like the film-based cameras that they are used to. This has led to the latest digital studio cameras being made as 'digital-backs' which can replace the 'film-backs' within a normal professional studio camera system.
In general, much of the work undertaken within the studio is likely to be some form of still-life where the subject does not move allowing the higher quality capture technologies (scanning backs and multi-shot) to be used effectively.
The best of these cameras provides very high quality indeed, creating images of large pixel dimensions with complete (un-interpolated) colour data. These can easily compete with analogue derived images from similar professional studio equipment. However, it must be said, they often have prices of a similarly impressive magnitude.
Development of these cameras has been so fast that although a few are beginning to turn up second hand, by the time they do, they are normally considered very low quality in comparison to what is currently available.
