What is a Medium Format Camera?
Both commercial and artistic photographers prefer a medium format camera because it exposes a larger area of film, resulting in sharper images that can be enlarged or cropped with more facility. Most people use 35mm film in their personal cameras, which is the physical width of the film, but medium format film is 60mm wide. Using a medium format camera, although heavier and more expensive than a smaller one, allows the photographer greater control over the image.
