I really found it interesting in it advantages and disadvantages. I would love to try Medium Format digital just once to see what the big deal is and see for myself but, I just can't finance a camera just to have it. I would love to know your thoughts on the subject. Thanks and enjoy the read.

That being said, medium format can produce some awesome detailed photos...some day I will have to give it a shot. 5DS R | 1Ds Mark III | Canon 16-35mm F/4L IS | Canon 24-70mm F/4L IS | Canon 70-200mm F/4L | Canon 50mm F/1.8 STM | Sigma 24-35mm F/2.0 Art | Samyang 14mm F/2.8 |

Even the crop factor is about the same. He mentioned that in the article.

"hmm, I can't really tell the difference"...  Too often I think!

MF has more pixels and pixel peeps better due to no AA filter. Maybe a little more DR before post processing. FF DSLR has WAY better high ISO, actually better DOF control because of faster lens options, more versatile, cheaper, portable, shoots faster, focuses faster, etc, etc. That's the thing. FF DSLR still has an edge when it comes to performance. DMF has an edge in DR and does better in shadow performance but, that's it. DMF doesn't do well in low light but, FF does. Is that it?
