And it comes with IBIS.

It's even cheaper than the 50MP Sony A1, although of course you
can't compare these two cameras.

I wonder what they mean by "medium format" and "medium format video"?

In the film days, medium format was a 2.25" or 6cm wide negative. Common
sizes (at least common for me!) were 645 (6cm by 4.5cm), 6x6cm, 6x7cm,
and 6x9cm. The film would have been 120 or 220 size. Both are the same
width, but 220 film is twice as long as 120 for twice as many exposures.
