Quote: Pentax missed the boat on the 645D. Back then, people waited for it. By now, a lot of those who had need of such a camera moved on to other offerings. Especially now with new management that's seeking to get a bigger ROI on Pentax cameras, the 645D will remain in the labs of Pentax.
While bigger is better how many photogs still use 8x10 negatives????
Looks to me like pentax saved an option of the APS-H -- (1.25x) sensor for a possible upscale model some day, and that's it.
since a 12/14mp model is about to hit the streets, R & D should be hard at work
on a 20 mp camera in the APS-C format, and if 14mp isn't enough then 20 mp should be, and if the market looks like it will support a bigger sensor--- they have the wiggle room to
go with their existing lens family
