On the subject of medium format, there are rumors that Fuji may be about to announce a medium format mirrorless camera in the next few months[1]. This wouldn't surprise me at all - Fuji have experience with various sizes of medium format going back 40+ years[2], they have manufactured medium format cameras for other brands (including Hasselblad[3]), and recently discontinued their last remaining medium format film cameras[4]. The question remains as to how big the medium format sensor will be, as other manufacturers have continually claimed "full frame" sensors when medium format generally means "anything larger than 35mm but smaller than large format". So it could be medium format but not that much bigger than 35mm. The second question is how much will it cost? If it's "affordable" it could take a lot of the wind out of Hasselblad's recent X1D announcement[5].
