As film got better and better there was no need for medium or large format either. So why do some folks still use 20x24 inch cameas? Answer, everything else being equal, bigger is better.

As sensors get better and better it seems to me it's a matter of time, when
there's really no need for medium format anymore.  If this is true, Canon
will(again) come out ahead of the competition. I mean, what's the point in
making huge MF sensors if 35mm format is getting better and better. Kodak,
Hasselblad/Imacon, Fuji, Pentax etc. will have to switch entirely to the
small format (35mm and below) market. Or, is Kodak in fact showing the way
the to go for professional photography?

Pentax quite obviously has all they can do to support one type of 35mm-style
DSLR cameras. The D645 is the large sensor pro model. I don't think it would
make any sense to try to sp
lit this hair finer. I think Pentax would lose more than they would gain by
introducing a 35mm-style DSLR that disenfranchised the people to whom they
just sold new lenses.

That's definitely possible.

But *I'd* buy it!
