I agree with Cholly- camera's keep improving and that is good for us photographers.

I would like to see what a Nikon medium format digital camera would be like. They would blow all other medium format digital cameras out of the water.

I'm guessing this was a statement of opinion.
A Sony user would probably construct the same sentence using the word "Sony" instead of "Nikon".

As far as I know, Nikon has never made a medium format camera.
I still own 8 film medium format cameras made by other companies though.

Well... Sony DOES have a proven track record of making exceptional MF sensors...

On my stomach, apples. Oranges give me heartburn. Of course I can never stop with eating just one orange either.

As I've commented earlier, this entire running discussion is dumb. Even before Nikon folk were figuratively dancing in the streets, DxOMark had reported a higher score for the Pentax 645Z ... but then withdrew it; why they then pushed the Hasselblad score out while still sitting on the Pentax score remains mysterious ... but this whole thing is just a small piece of the entire picture. These top scores are so close as to be functionally meaningless, and then we have to remember that the usefulness of a camera includes User Interface, hardware and software not tested by DxOMark, and other gear available. Factor in cost, and anyone doing an honest evaluation should have stomach issues.

Good point. Now with all that talk can anyone do the walk? Can anyone really see a difference between a score of 100 to 101 or better yet 102 with the naked eye. True it's good for competition but maybe because I'm, my eyes anyway, older I don't think I could see the difference. It's like new cars, one with 670 HP and the other with 700 HP, on the drag strip if the 670HP has a better driver and I'm not talking software either it can still beat the higher HP car, same with cameras. It's sounds like bragging rights.

At $13,400.00 it damn well should have beat a camera costing $3300.00. Boy, for a difference of 2 points on the fabulous, very accurate, highly touted DXO score everyone and their mother should go right out and buy this camera, don't forget that the Hasselblad at that price DOES come with a 40 mm lens.OH BOY!

I keep hearing that cell phones are the future of photography and DSLR's are a thing of the past. While taking pictures with my D-750 people have asked me how old is that camera. Now all these companies are coming out with new "super camera's" and they seem to be selling very well and they cost in the thousands. I guess the death of DSLR's are greatly exaggerated

You know Robert, I am not the kind of person who cares very much about having 50 Mp. in my cameras. For my needs 17 megapixels are more than enough although one of my cameras sports 24 Mp.
To me if the Hasselbladd is better in quality than the D850 is totally irrelevant, I will not use in my photography any of those two cameras. I am perfectly well satisfied with what I have now. I am saying this understanding that others will not share my opinion. We are all different.
Any photographer and, I am well aware you know this, that is not capable of producing good work with a 12 Mp. camera will not become better using a 50 Mp. camera with professional lenses. I believe that we should use not what is more technically advanced but exactly what we need. Many but many photographers are perfectly happy with their old cameras.
I have quoted this before from Jack Dykinga, "Concentrate on technology and your pictures will be technically excellent. Concentrate on the nuisances of light and your pictures will stir the soul."

Not quite the song you were singing when the D850 was top - you never mentioned price of most of those below it.
