Let's see, looks like that rear standard slides, so you can stitch.... but with the sensor so far inside the body, I guess you are limited to rather long lenses.

Fun though.

What is that, a D200?

You might want to read my friend's article:

Some of the pictures and hands in the article are mine, we did 2 cameras together. Frankly, I've found tilt/shift lenses a better option for DSLR work, but John (the article author) uses the view camera setup regularly.
