Medium format digital cameras are designed to shoot photos that mimic the effects of shots taken by 120mm film cameras and they have sensors larger than 35mm frames. When using a digital medium format camera, you can expect unbeatable image quality and color replication. These cameras have large sensors that capture high-quality images with a wide field of view, a distinct look that is a signature of the medium format. Because of the larger sensor, medium format digital cameras are larger and heavier than a typical digital camera, but with advancements in technology, they are becoming lighter and more compact. Medium format digital cameras are customizable with interchangeable parts, which allows you to choose which digital camera back, viewfinder, or focus system works best for your requirements.

Medium format digital cameras are popular in commercial photography like advertising and fashion for their ability to capture stunning detail and near-life-like color replication. Also popular for portraits and weddings, digital medium format cameras have a shallower depth of field, creating a beautiful falloff and depth in each image.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


How Does Sensor Size in Medium Format Compare to Full Frame?

Medium format sensors are generally much larger than full-frame sensors. While a full-frame sensor might measure around 36mm x 24mm, medium format sensors can range from about 44mm x 33mm to 53.4mm x 40.0mm or even larger. The larger size contributes to better image quality.

What Types of Photography Benefit Most from Medium Format?

Medium format is commonly used in studio photography, portraiture, landscape photography, and commercial applications where high-resolution images are required. They are less commonly used for sports, wildlife, or other types of photography that require fast autofocus and high-speed shooting.

Can Medium Format Cameras Shoot Video?

While primarily designed for still photography, some modern medium format cameras do have video capabilities. However, these are generally not as advanced as those found in dedicated video cameras or even some full-frame DSLRs and mirrorless cameras.

How Does Depth of Field Differ in Medium Format Cameras?

Due to the larger sensor size, medium format cameras often produce a shallower depth of field at equivalent apertures, compared to smaller sensor cameras. This is often desired for portrait photography to achieve highly desirable background bokeh.

Do Medium Format Cameras Have In-Body Image Stabilization?

Some modern medium format cameras do offer in-body image stabilization, but it's not as common as in smaller sensor cameras. If this is a critical feature for you, make sure to check the specifications before purchasing.

Are Medium Format Cameras Weather-Sealed?

High-end medium format cameras often come with robust weather sealing, making them suitable for outdoor shooting in various conditions. However, due to their cost and bulk, they are less commonly used in extreme conditions compared to more rugged full-frame models.

What Types of Memory Cards Do Medium Format Cameras Use?

Medium format cameras often use high-speed, high-capacity memory cards like CFast or XQD, although some models may also support SD cards. The choice of memory card can be important due to the large file sizes generated by these cameras.
