Those were all experimental but the Nikon D1 was the first to hit the market, and it was medium format. The lenses for these large sensor cameras will never be mass marketed like for the APS and FF DSLR and mirrorless cameras, they are too expensive, barring any radical break-through in lens technology. Medium format's best selling feature is the quality of results (within the confines of its shooting abilities) compared to current high-megapixel FF cameras so that is the target market. Sony's A7RIV has brought with it noise so 61mp is beginning to probe the limits of FF and a 100mp Fuji's image quality wipes the floor with it, a price. Selling against high megapixel FF cameras is where any new Fuji comes into play. If by some miracle of marketing or pricing Fuji can drop the 100mp camera's price to $5000, then it would really be interesting. But at $10,000, it's still in another realm, even against the top pro Canon and Nikon bodies. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |
