Originally posted by Alex645 Correct me if Iʻm wrong, but the sensors in both the Fujifilm and Pentax MF are the same size; approx. 44 x 33mm, while full frame is 36 x 24mm. Same is true in MF sensors (more or less) for Hasselblad, Leica, and some Mamiya models.
And even my 645 film camera does not actually record 60 x 45mm images; reality check 56 x 41.5mm which coincides with Mamiyaʻs 80MP MF DSLR only.
There are 2 sizes of sensors made by Sony for MF :
- 50MP 33x44mm found in our (previously ?) beloved 645Z, shared by Hasselblad in X1D, H6D50C, and Phase One IQx50 backs, considered as crop,
- 100MP 54x40mm found in Phase One IQ3 100MP back and Hasselblad's H6D100C. Same size as previous 60MP and 80MP CCD backs from both companies, considered as full frame in medium format digital world.
Leica is 30x45mm, from different supplier, not Sony (CMOSIS design, made by STMicroelectronics I think, not sure)

Originally posted by itshimitis All this worship and there isn't yet a real world balanced view of this camera. On paper it does look fantastic and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted. There are all sorts of issues that haven't been thought of such battery issues, shutter lag and using an EVF for manual focussing when it is dark. Yes it looks fantastic and knowing Fuji they will come good on a quality but do we think mirrorless is going to break the medium format market when it hasn't broken the more prosumer 35mm and APS-C market? Much will depend on how good the EVF is and how long the battery lasts.
Almost exactly my thoughts... except that I still really don't like EVFs, even Leica Q's one, which should share the hardware with Fuji's EVF if I read correctly. So I have no hope for this one. But it is only me.
