thebeginning said:who knows...i kinda doubt it, as the prices would be quite high and the percentage of photographers that would require one would be quite small. if there were photographers that would look into them, they probably would have already looked into the current MF digital models.
I don't think the prices would be that high, given that as technology advances, prices come down. Digital backs get cheaper and cheaper, and if a company like Canon or Nikon got into MF digital, they would have to be competitive pricewise to even dream of it.
To say that the percentage of photographers that would require one would be quite small is really not true. Do you think there is a small percentage of photographers using digital backs with MF bodies now? Hardly. The fashion/advertising market is headed that way big time. As film dies off, MF digital will completely take over that arena, for the same reasons that MF film is used over 35mm now. I know that megapixels aren't everything, but higher resolution does make a better print.
