Hmmm. Most full frame cameras are not medium format[1] ( ~ 24x36 to 100x125) And most medium format cameras aren't large format [2] ( > 100x125) Full frame has its fans, and there's certainly some photography styles that benefit from it, but all these formats are fairly arbitrary - especially full frame. Highly recommend Full Frame Wars [3] that includes a history (and some myth-busting) of the format - all the way back to a 1891, when an interest in having 16 frames per foot of rolling film was the basis of this particular (and now 125 year old) standard.
