Default did anyone try this: cheap point-n-shoot on the back of a large format beast?

Did anyone try to use a large format camera to get an image (with all
the advantages of large format cameras: tilt, shift, etc) and then use a
small digicam instead of film to snap the picture? I imagine if you make
some sort of fixture to attach the digicam to the back of the large
format camera, and focus on the glass plate, you should be able to snap
*that* image. I never used a large format camera and I do not intend to
venture into this field unless I can do it digitally. I am not into high
resolution stuff, I read some of Ansel Adams books and I am impressed
with what you can do with large format when you can tilt/shift the lens
and the negative as you want. Just wondering if I can "piggy-back" a
cheap point-n-shoot on the back of a large format beast?

These work swimmingly on DSLRs.


yes, but you have more flexibility with large format, i think?

do you have any idea what a large format camera can do??? you can move
the lens and the focal plane independently, achieving effects never
possible with a point-n-shoot (or even a dSLR).



I'm just at a loss as to why you would want to use a cheap P&S digicam
piggybacked to a large format one. Why not just take a large format, or even
medium format image and digitize it.
