You are correct. My figure was inflated, but $500 mill would work for me just fine.

I could work with net of 500 mil. Of course I’d invest but for just fun I’d lease a yacht and staff it with full time escorts.

I would focus on spending that kind of money, not stressing over investments. That is a lot of money and could never spend it in a lifetime.

At what point is a digital camera considered medium format? When I used to think of medium format cameras, I would think of Hasselblad, Mamiya among others. Cameras that are very large, heavy and ridiculously expensive. Now we have the Nikon D850, Fuji GFX 50 and others from Canon and other companies, full frame high mega pixel cameras in the mainstream market. Why aren't those considered medium format and why are they not advertised as such?
The D850 and I think all Canon are not medium format. The Fuji GFX 50 is. I think if the sensor is larger than 24x36mm then it's medium format. Most of the digital medium format sensors are smaller than the smallest film medium format of 6x4.5.

I'm holding on to my RB67 ProS and all my lenses in the hopes of getting a 6x7 digital back some day, without selling one of my 60 year old classic sports cars. Meanwhile I still get to shoot 6x7 on 120 film.
I still have my RB67 and Bronica ETRS systems and use both from time to time. Back in the day I would shoot 120 slides and develop and print in the darkroom. I do miss the Cibachrome processing, I loved to do my own color processing and printing. Never much cared for color negatives.

Because they are not medium Format cameras! Full frame cameras are called that (actually all digital cameras are full frame cameras), because the sensor size is about the same size, as the 35mm film size, so, the "full"size equal to the 35mm film format. Medium Format cameras used larger films as the 35mm film size, so digital Medium Format needs to use a sensor that is larger than that of full frame format! Its all about the sensor size, as it was all about film size a ways back!At what point is a digital camera considered medium format?
