I am well aware of that. But its not even real medium format. There is no camera with digital sensor of 6x7 actual size out there. what you have instead is digital backs that adapt on older film cameras.
> There is no camera with digital sensor of 6x7 actual size
Well .. true, but mostly because that is a HUGE size for a digital sensor. The only "medium" format digital I'm familiar with is the pentax 645, it is smaller than that old film and yet still 50MP (!). The tech will only improve.
I wouldn't hold your breath for any sensor of the size of the old film you're talking about. There's a certain threshold above which there are diminishing returns. I suppose there are some cinema sensors being made at 70mm but they are very niche and ruinously expensive. My money might be on the 645 size becoming standard, and it's a reasonable one.
> not even real medium format
To be fair there is no "real" medium format. It basically means "bigger than 35mm".
