I have to agree with Robert that I see little attraction for the current MF size (approx 44x33mm). If it was a 60x60 size then I would be more tempted. This current MF size represents a x2 approx gain in sensor size over FX.

Using a FX semsor with 36 or 50 MP does change the dynamics of use of a camera as you need to take much more care and have top quality glass to get best results. When you do that you have essentially a camera that equates to MF film. There are 100MP backs from PhaseOne but as their sensor size is 44x33mm with 16bit RAW capture which produce great results with lovely dynamic range and tonality but the price is very high for the small quality gain.
