I used to have a Kodak 465 digital back and I have rented an Imacon back a few times. The high end DSLR's will come close, but they can;t match the fine detail of the digital backs, which now are hitting 60MP capture. Since your asking about perspective control capabilities then I would look for a back that can be fitting to a 4x5 camera.
While a lot can be done with the Canon TS lenses (I have the 24mm), and futher corrections in Photoshop, there still is not the same level of quality, dof control and amount of rise/fall/ and swing that you get with a true view camera.
On the other end, the MF digitals are much slower to shoot with, don;t begin to come close to the hi ISO performance of the DSLR's and don't offer the features that are great for sports, weddings, candid photography.
Someone makes a view camera with an EOS mount on the back. May be worth looking into
