The global medium format camera market reached a value of US$ 14.7 Billion in 2019. Medium format photography conventionally uses the 120 film size. This is substantially larger than 35mm film size, which is the currently the basis of modern digital photography. Medium format digital photography also uses a sensor that is larger than the 35mm full-frame standard. As a result, its lens provides a sharp image which can be cropped or zoomed in without affecting the image quality or leaving it pixelated. Images taken from a medium format camera appear better, compared to images taken from a full frame or crop sensor camera. This is predominantly due to having a wider field of view compared to what a DSLR would have at the same length lens.

Superior Image quality is not the only advantage of medium format cameras. These cameras are also built around interchangeable parts rather than a single camera body. This enables old medium format cameras to be converted into digital cameras.

However, in comparison with other camera types, medium format cameras are bulky, heavy and lack advanced autofocus system. Moreover, the high prices of medium format camera and the proliferation of affordable-yet-powerful mirrorless and DSLR cameras with compact size represent a major challenge to the medium format camera market.
