A medium format based DSLR will be similar in all important respect to a
35mm based DSLR. It can be made significantly smaller than a film 645

resembling a

That's based on current prices. Given the rapid drop in 35mm dslr prices,
I think a 3 to 4 K medium format camera is a possibiliby in another year
or two.
or two, there won't be a market left.

To me, it sounds like a sound philosophy, which seems typical of how

Thanks for the post. I think it's important.
