35mm is small
6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, and 6x9 are medium formats. Medium format uses roll film and the #s are in cm.
Large format is 4x5, 8x10 and up and the #'s are in inches. They use sheets of film.
6x45 and 6x6 are the most popular of the format. The larger film captures quite a bit more detail. It allows you to also enlarge photos much larger than 35mm.

OK. I think I understand.

The older backs usually need to be tethered to a computer to download pics, but the newer versions use CF cards to hold the pics for later download.
I believe the highest megapixel back I have seen is the Hasselblad, which is around 50 megapixels. Creates a very large file for sure.
