The image sensor is the true eye of a digital camera, so the larger the sensor, the better your images turn out. With a sensor 10-times, or more, the size of a smartphone sensor, every aspect of your imaging improves — more pixels, better low-light sensitivity, and wider dynamic range. Clinical imaging functionality that provides the ultimate in accommodation. Expand the capabilities of limited R&F room space with Canon Medical Systems' Ultimax-i™ FPD, making advanced imaging technology and diverse multipurpose system performance truly attainable.

Cambo's Ultima is a monorail camera system, sold in several versions for 4x5-inch film, roll film, MF digital backs and 35 mm DSLR camera bodies. These are just different sets of modules mounted on the same base, incorporating the rail and controls for focusing and tilt and shift movements.[1] A 2008 brochure described the configurations available:[2]
- Ultima 45, for 4x5-inch film: supplied with pleated bellows, a rail extension (30 cm rail + 15 cm extension[3]) and a focusing screen.
- Ultima 45D, for MF digital backs and scanning backs: supplied with bag bellows and 30 cm rail.
- Ultima 23, for roll film backs with Graflok fitting: as the 45, but with smaller standards.
- Ultima 23D, for MF digital backs: supplied with bag bellows and 30 cm rail.
- Ultima 35, for use with 35 mm DSLR body (Canon EOS 5D or EOS-1Ds; Nikon D4, D3 or D800) as the back: supplied with a special bag bellows, incorporating a bayonet for the appropriate DSLR.
Accessories available for the system include a sliding back, for rapid change between a digital back and focusing screen, rail and bellows extensions, standard compendium hood and (for the 4x5 camera only) de luxe compendium hood with a filter holder and sliding blinds, and reflex viewers, including a binocular one for the 4x5-inch camera. Because of the modular assembly of the camera, conversion kits are available which turn one option into another.
