Yer Pentax 645D announced

[Flipped Gazelle]

$9400 - a bargain. Japan only, at least for now.

Wow

 

[ElFenix]

half the price of the mamiya and probably a much easier camera to live with, wow

It will be interesting to see how much the 645D will go for on Ebay and other gray-market sites.

Geared for outdoor pros, which means the weather resistance is probably as good or better than the already excellent K7. *drool*

I'm also guessing some of these features will turn up on the next APS-C cam from Pentax (like SAFOX IX+)

Oh wow, I never expected this to ever show up due to Pentax's Hoya days and all the talk of them falling apart. It's great to see them releasing something of this scale, it bodes well for the future of the company.
