I totally agree. I was comparing my Fuji X-E1 to a Hasselblad 500 and the Fuji is so much better. It is much lighter. The Fuji AF is much better; in fact the Hasselblad doesn't even have AF. The coolest thing is that I don't have to wait for the film to be processed and scanned. I am so glad I switched. Fuji is awesome! Maybe Hasselblad is a bigger "looser" than Canon.
If Fuji were to scale up X-Trans to MF, then Blad would be in real trouble
But I doubt there's enough market to make the investment worth while
Then again - you never know...
X Trans is a regular sensor, with a different color filter array over it. Hard to see where any extreme investment might lie
Ah, but to produce any sensor in actual MF size - say 6x5, 6x7 or even 6x9 - would be a huge investment for any manufacturer.
Not even Phase One or Blad have gone there yet.
1. There is no 6 x 5 medium format size.
2. Fujifilm would have to match the current DMF cameras, not exceed them. Were you suggesting that Fujifilm scale up their hypothetical medium format sensor to film size to compete with Hassy's digital? If yes, that is odd because one would think the advantage of X Trans would appear 1:1, meaning that Fujifilm would exceed Hassy's IQ at the same size, not having to go larger. It's not really an advantage if the sensor has to go larger to be the winner is it? Would everyone be praising the current X Trans sensor if it were 6 x 4.5 cm in size but was only beating full frame?
