Full Frame vs Medium Format. Should! There Be A Debate? (Episode 8) (Season 1)

Episode 8
To put this in perspective, the GFX has a sensor area of approximately 1452 square millimeters. A full-frame sensor like that used in the Canon EOS R5 or Sony Full Frame Cameras has a sensor area of about 864 square millimeters. Therefore, the GFX sensor is roughly 68% larger than a full-frame sensor.
 
It's worth noting that sensor size is just one factor that can affect image quality and performance. Other factors like pixel size, image processing, and lens quality can also significantly determine overall image quality. And the fact that the GFX100 and 100S can shoot 16Bit RAW Files.
 
The best camera is the camera system that works for you. Unfortunately, so much misinformation is being presented as fact, and many new photographers are looking for accurate info. I blame the camera companies for allowing it because they would rather not spend money to promote their products adequately and rely on social media individuals to advertise their system for free.
