Medium format refers to film cameras with a negative size larger than 35mm but smaller than 4x5. In almost all cases of medium format cameras being made today, they use 120 roll film. Negative sizes range from 1 5/8" x 2 1/4" to 6cm x 7cm.

Medium format also refers to digital. You can get digital backs or full digital medium format cameras. It just refers to the size, as said above, between 35mm and large format (4x5 and up).
