Okeee, Breath in breath out, calm down,
I always get a bit irritated by those lets face it ridiculous comparisons..
NO WAY the quality will get to the mid-formats, even a 33 mpix Leaf / or what ever, will give a better result than a small sensor loaded with much to small pixels... 36 mpix on a small frame, ( even full frame) is way to much...
25 mpix MAX, to make a nice image.. any more is because amateurs could say at there club there camera has a enormous mpix count for no money, just like Nissan GTR buyers...
Theres much more to it than the catalogue numbers as advertised...
And if the small sensor quality is enough for its use, so just use it, but take it that it's not as good as a 5 times more expensive one. exactly , the car analogy..
It's the same thing since after the second world war, 35 mm is good but it has its limitations, 120 is good but again it has its limitations, if you want better got to 4x5 and so on...
If you want to deliver the best possible, buy the best possible equipment ...
So i don't see why the price would have to drop as they are hand made... Buy one second hand, even a 22mpix mid format will give better results...
And do i compare, yes, i've got Full frame 35mm, and i've got Phase ones,... turn it as you wish the bigger the sensor the better... I would even want to buy a Scanback from better light, just to see what that brings...
