Good lord, even the most wildly optimistic price predictions for the
645D have it costing roughly equal to a Canon 1Ds-III! As of this week
35mm full-frame is $2000 and by this time next year it will be
approaching $1500.
I agree. Here I repeat a concept I've been stressing for years (any of you
remembering my discussions with Shel long time ago?), but I haven't
repeated over the last years, so it's worth doing now. In my view, in
practice APS is the "new" small format (which once used to be 35mm film),
24 x 36 is the current medium format and everything above that is large
format.
I've seen magazine headlines read: "Is FF the New Medium Format?"--which
suggests there are others who might agree with you, Dario.
