Saying the 35mm is going to kill medium format is like saying the small sensors in future camera phones will beat beat the 35mm dSLR\'s in terms of image quality.
It\'s not the same. If you put a $2000 lens designed specfically for it on a phone imager and give it a DSLR/MFD quality quantization and processing chain, then there\'s no reason you can\'t get the same quality image.
No. You won\'t get the same images quality. What all you geniuses seem to forget is that all pixels are NOT created EQUAL.!! A larger sensor can have larger photosites.
I bought into the idea of fat pixels rule all a few years ago but the MFDB makers certainly don\'t seem scared to put smaller and smaller pixels in their backs. I\'ve also seen the NEX-7 take on the larger A900. Larger pixels doesn\'t necessarily mean better. DSLRs are the jacks of all trades. They focus on versatility rather than pure image quality.
I don\'t think 35mm will ever kill MF. MF will kill MF if they don\'t advance the bodies and increase their user base. I do think that Nikon and Canon could completely erode the \"low end\" MF market if they chose to develop studio cameras that had leaf shutter lens options and better low iso performance at the expense of high iso performance.
