During this video I question why Canon don’t make a digital mirrorless medium format camera and could there be one in development?
Back in the 1980s there were many superb medium format film camera systems: Hasselblad 500cm, Mamiya RB67, Mamiya RZ67 MKII, Mamiya 645, Bronica ETRS, Bronica SQ,…

When Nikon introduced the Z mount Matt Irwin pointed out that the throat size is big enough to accommodate a "medium format" sensor. Medium format in quotes because cameras like the Fujifilm GFX 100 are still only about 48 x 36 mm, whereas a medium format film camera is 60 mm on one side, with a number different measurements for t'other. 60 x 45, 60 x 60, 60 x 90, and so on.
However, as someone (or was it you?) pointed out the RED acquisition is probably keeping Nikon pretty busy at the moment, and they, together with the other manufacturers, would have to have a good hard think about the potential market.
I will like to see a medium format from them so long as they will make an adapter to enable RF lenses adaptations
I'd love to See a Medium format Canon camera that works with my existing set of RF lenses.
4:22 Well, not three, but five, and that's at least: Leica S, S2, S3, and now they're preparing to release a new model and optics for it. Then PENTAX 645 Z 51.4 MP, so to be more precise, these are not three variants/models.
Medium Format, is a niche market, which is already held by, Fuji, Hasselblad, Leica, Phase One, if canon does, it might adapt to all if not most of their lens
interesting topic. my take its driven by commercial potential, the revenue that it may bring in versus damaging existing revenue stream, they dont want to compete with their own camera dept. best take is to look at Nikon's medium format foray, if any. last time i heard, there was patent filed Nikon on medium format lens or something, that would be a first indication if there are any serious effort going that direction. when Nikon goes medium format, i bet you that Canon wont be far off when that happen, either acquire an existing or former medium format company OR joint venture with medium format company like PENTAX as a starter before launching off. just my 2 cents
I'm about one year into my GFX journey and I love the two GFX cameras. I have. I have the GFX 50 S mark 2 which is a slower camera but I still really enjoy using it and it's very capable. I also have the new GFX100S ii and I've only got one word to describe it phenomenal it is really good. It is close to full frame in terms of auto focus and at seven frames a second it's actually perfect for what I need. I can actually shoot some sport with it if I need to, but I'm really a landscape and portrait shooter so it's fantastic. I can't imagine cannons first digital medium format camera being much chopped. If you don't put an L bracket on the bottom of your medium format camera I'm very sorry I don't know your name but you are an idiot and you're not a photographer. Anyone that owns medium format camera put an L bracket on there. You are a complete fool if you don't!! I'm very very sorry, but you've obviously got an anti-GFX slam with this because the GFX cameras are amazing. I don't know if you actually used it for very long but attaching it to a tripod like you did shows a complete lack of intelligence …. I couldn't think of anything more dumb that I've seen a photographer do that then do what you did…. But I'm still laughing. I nearly choked on my coffee. Everyone puts an L bracket on their medium format camera.
The cinema cameras aren’t niche since they don’t need a new line of lenses / lens mount… whereas a MF camera would.
Annoyingly, Canon’s cameras have really pivoted towards hybrid/video… if they cared about high end stills they’d first deliver a 60mpix competitor to the Sony a7rv/Leica SL3. Also Canon have removed the pixel shift high res mode from the R5ii and replaced it with software upressing too – perplexing! There so much more Canon could do in Full Frame to deliver a more stills centric studio/landscape camera.
With 35mm format lenses 1 to 2 stops faster than the fastest MF lenses from Fuji and Hasselblad, I’m just not convinced that you need the extra sensor dimensions for that low depth of field ‘medium format look’. I think the reason Fuji and Hasselblad went ‘Medium Format’ (really it’s not that large a sensor) is more about marketing. Hasselblad/DJI has always been in that space… and if Fuji had entered 35mm full frame they’d have killed their APSc line.

I can see Sony making a medium format camera before Canon
Medium Format would be nice if a larger sensor is required ? L Series Lense's let in more light. But most pictures are taken by cell phones ? Many camera's are chewing away at the full frame camera market . Canon could go to the L series Lenses ? With Social Media you can use any camera ! Printed image are suffering from Social Media. Printing is fading !
Excellent suggestion, especially because of Canon's dual-pixel AF which does outperform Fuji cameras AF. It would be interesting if they could also adapt some of their RF lenses for the larger sensor.
Nice..👍.. make more alternative to obtain Medium Digital Camera
As an architecture photographer, I would love to see this. I wouldn't be surprised if some of their high-end lenses already cover a medium format sensor—I know that the Canon tilt-shifts work well on the Fuji GFX cameras. Even if it wasn't the same size sensor as a GFX, I would love to see a taller, higher-resolution sensor in the current RF mount… Take a high-res 35mm sensor, add some height to it (4×3 aspect ratio) and keep the RF mount. That would go a long way to keeping me from just switching to Fujifilm. That and finally releasing the RF mount tilt-shift lenses!!!
Didn't Sony patented a 53.5mmx40mm 200mp curved medium format sensor and a few lenses? If anyone, they could be the ones bringing a larger sensor than 44×33. I wish a larger than 44×33 mirrorless camera and I don't care if is Sony, Nikon, Canon… 🙂
