Today, Phase One announced an overpriced $65,000 for a camera with a 150-megapixel medium format sensor made by Sony and a 23mm F5.6 (14.9mm, F3.6 equiv.) fixed lens. If the sensor was made by Phase One and was exclusive to that camera, even in that particular situation the $60k+ isn’t justified for a camera body with a lens.
However, we all know that after a while, the same sensor will arrive inside the body of a Hasselblad X2D 150c or X3D 150c camera or the Fuji medium format camera under the Fuji GFX 150 series. So there is a high probability that we will see that particular sensor in upcoming years in many different cameras.
These camera makers like Fuji and Hasselblad will hardly ask you for $10,000 or even less. So the big question is: who will pay that much amount to Phase One? This is the right time for them to learn from others like Fuji and Hasselblad to introduce a stripped-down line of their exclusive series in the competition.
Camera with Higher Price tag NEVER SALES Well, their CONSUMER BASE IS VERY LIMITED to FEW People
Some Budget Medium Format Cameras
But, one Camera maker shows some effort like Hasselblad did with their X Series, and puts the same sensor under an affordable Mirrorless body, and it goes in the TOP seller chart
Fuji GFX 100S is more popular among users and among the TOP selling camera @ B&H Store

Look at the giant sample image of 100MP captured at ISO 12800. As expected the Phase one camera with a price tag of $50K giving out excellent output, at the same time Sony A7R II and Nikon D810 image samples are also visible in front of Phase one. But Nikon D5 and Canon 1DX Mark II showing weak output due to less resolution.
 Also look at Sony A7R II High ISO Test image and also look at Sony A7RII showing more details compared to Nikon D810 at High ISO Test – Best Lenses for Sony A7R II

 The Phase one camera announces a new budget 100MP digital back. The IQ1 camera is actually a trim down version of top-end IQ3 model. It features almost same core specification as the top-end IQ3 model features. But tp cut down the cost of the camera the Phase one eliminates the HDMI or Wi-Fi communication.
The display options are bit restricted by reducing the Exposure clipping warnings and no Exposure Zone tool. The power supply is also limited, IQ1 models can’t share power with the XF body and have no electronic shutter or ability to capture while in Live View mode.
When an XF body is bought with an IQ3 back Phase One offers a lens up to the value of $6990/€5990, but this offer isn’t open to those buying the camera with an IQ1 back.

Phase One continues to diversify its already extensive, high-quality Blue Ring lens portfolio. The introduction of two new Blue Ring lenses ensures a complete lens range in both wide-angle optics and telephoto lens speed. Blue Ring lenses are manufactured to Phase One’s highest standard of optical quality, capable of performing well beyond 101-megapixel resolution.
* New Schneider Kreuznach 150mm LS f/2.8 IF; the fastest Blue Ring telephoto lens with extremely shallow depth of field which is perfect for portrait as well as landscape applications.
