The issue is how "best" to capture an image with resolution of 140+ megapixels. Basically, there are three ways to achieve this:Well no, because for 1/20th of the price of the MF system, the Rhinocam cannot do what the MF system can do - which is of course to create an image on a medium format size sensor with a single exposure.
1. Use a single chip sensor and stitch multiple shots (e.g., Rhinocam)
2. Use a multiple chip sensor and stitch with less shots (e.g., MFDB)
3. Use a single chip sensor with a single exposure (e.g., Sietz: overview)
If single exposure is the most important criteria in getting there, then the Seitz looks to be the best tool for the job. Or, if cost is the most important criteria in getting there, then the Rhinocam (or similar stitching kit) appears to offer the overall lowest cost.
And, none of these solutions will be perfect and without problems.
