"real " cameras in xsi

"real " cameras in xsi

Is there a table of different film back sizes?  I have to admit to not
fully understanding this... the film back size is the measurement of a
physical piece of the camera or digital camera's sensor yes?  So
presumably this is the hard thing to establish?  I mean, anyone can find
out the lens used on a shot, but where does one learn the film back size
of an Arri Flex 435 Xtreme?  Have I completely got the wrong end of the
stick here?

Cheers,

DAN
