I believe each camera system has its own edge and its own playground. ​

 

As a medium format photographer, I chose mainly digital medium format / tech camera for landscape photography because: 

 

• large and bright viewfinder 

• touch screen interface; hard to find a system you can check 100% focus on faster on a specific part of the image than a Phase One IQ Back

• more tactile lens response when manually focusing 

• ability to shoot vertical without rotating camera 

• low ISO without ND filters 

• ability to shoot film with same system as digital 

• ability to crop a vertical and horizontal from the same frame 

• ability to use on tech cameras

• rise/fall/shift/swing/tilt on lens 

• fully mechanical/traditional shooting 

• absolute best glass

• compatibility with view cameras

• close focus possible with many lenses, not just select macros

• rise/fall/shift/swing/tilt on every lens, not just select TS lenses

• less frequent updates required 

• longer software support 

• consistent shooting speed; a Phase One IQ can maintain it's frame-rate indefinitely

• with a fast CF card, any Canon/Nikon can shoot much faster but unless you restrain yourself you can easily hit a buffer and the camera won't fire when you think it should. The IQ or Credo will be slower (around 1.2fps for the 40mp model) but it is reliably consistent - you know when you can shoot next and can develop a rhythm.
