It's mostly used by professional photographers for high-end commercial and advertisment work.

You could hardly call this a gadget....unless a venturi fetish or a ferrari are gadgets as well....]]>Sep 20th 2007 2:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/Sep 20th 2007 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/Sep 20th 2007 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/Sep 20th 2007 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/Sep 20th 2007 4:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/Sep 20th 2007 2:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/]]>Sep 20th 2007 9:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/
The Leaf AFi provides professional photographers with a 6 x 6 medium-format digital camera solution in a compact 6 x 4.5 design.]]>Sep 20th 2007 3:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/
And for everyone: 6x6 is the size of the opening at the back of the camera, presumably one could use a 120 or 220 film back and take 6x6 photos, however the sensor on the chip is rarely 6x6, just like most 35mm DSLRs use APS-C sized sensors, there's usually a crop factor and often the sensors will be in 645 (6x4.5) proportions, hence the necessity to rotate the back, which in the Hasselblad style camera is much better than having to turn the camera sideways, which is very cumbersome.

Meanwhile I'm just looking forward to playing with the 39 Megapixel Phase One P45+ backs we just got in where I'm at.]]>Sep 20th 2007 4:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/Sep 20th 2007 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/
I realize I could just read one of the five or so explanations above, but it's really late and I'm too tired to raise my eyes. If you could put another (hopefully fresher) explanation lower down on the page, it would be really helpful.]]>Sep 20th 2007 9:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/Sep 20th 2007 9:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/
I want one! My boss is going to balk! I don't shoot in the studio enough to justify it. Though our Video guy is going to get a $60,000 HD sony to shoot with. Not fair!]]>Sep 20th 2007 9:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/Sep 20th 2007 10:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/Sep 21st 2007 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/Sep 21st 2007 10:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/
So, this 6x6 camera is actually a large format?]]>Sep 21st 2007 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/20/leaf-shows-off-new-afi-medium-format-cameras-you-cant-afford-o/Sep 21st 2007 10:09AM
