A digital camera back is a device that attaches to the back of a camera in place of a film holder and contains an electronic image sensor. This lets cameras that were designed to use film take digital photographs. These backs are generally expensive by consumer standards (US$5000 and up) and are primarily built to be used on the medium- and large-format cameras favored by many professional photographers.

Famous quotes containing the word camera:
“The camera has an interest in turning history into spectacle, but none in reversing the process. At best, the picture leaves a vague blur in the observer’s mind; strong enough to send him into battle perhaps, but not to have him understand why he is going.”
—Denis Donoghue (b. 1928)
