I don't know about other backs, but the Leaf Volare produces a 2048 x 3072pixel image - or ~ 6.3 megapixel.

It probably can withstand upsampling much better than a shot made with a camera that uses a Bayer pattern sensor.

cameras with Bayer pattern sensors have a little less resolution than
cameras without. since the Leaf back uses the same arrangement as the
Foveon, the back should deliver resolution about equal to a 8-10 megapixel
digital camera that is using a
Bayer pattern.
