So we can conclude - "Full format" is dead.
APS-C is for amateurs, MF for professionals. That is the new order of things - just as it was always meant to be.
Just kidding (but I enjoyed it) ... although honestly it makes sense. Who needs full format for sports for instance ? Sports photos end on websites or in tabloids - virtually no need for 30+mp anyway. Wildlife ? What's the effective resolution after air diffusion ? Certainly not 50mp on FF. Portraits and studio ? Better with MF.
Regarding the high entry price tag of a A7R II/ S II, D5, 5DsR, 1D xII in conjunction with hefty price hikes for their pro lenses, they are out of reach for most non-pros anyway now and many (true) pros will not scream about the price tag of the GFX. If pro DSLRs are dead on the mid-term anyway, why go Sony if you can have a GFX now?
It would be so funny if it ended like that ...
