"This one's main selling point is its 56mm true wide frame sensor that Leaf designed with DALSA, which promises to "take you to the edge of the medium-format frame."
Ha .. the edge of the medium-format frame? That barely qualifies for medium format. Wake me up when you have 6x7 down (or better 6x9). And I really doubt that the photo taken with this is anything close to the quality of a good 6x7 negative. Even a 645 would need about 90+MP to capture the color properly.
Don't get me wrong, I own six film cameras from 35mm to 8x10' and love them all, but to say these backs aren't comparable to the quality of medium format film... that's just plain ignorance.

And what exactly are you basing that on?
