I pretty much agree though I'm sure a lot of Canon DSLR have replaced MF gear in studios too. My negativity stems from the likely assumption that few working pros still use or would adopt a digital P645 kit over a top end Canon or back for their old MF kit. Of all the studios I've visited and portrait sessions I've attended I can't remember once seeing P645 as the camera of choice. P67 were a far more popular camera here, though Hasseys, Bronicas and Mamiyas made up the vast bulk of MF bodies.
