Originally posted by Kunzite The sensor used in 645D is twice as big as the 35mm frame, so the mirror must be bigger. The 55mm lens is actually wide, not normal on that camera.
I hope we'll see it on market, but I doubt I'll afford one.
I can't afford it either BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER. If a 645D hits the market (and if I can still use my 645 lenses on it) I am buying one right away; I don't care what it costs or how long my kids have to go without shoes or food. I am buying one.
I am sure I paid for my local Pentax rep to take his whole family to Dubai with all the stuff I have bought in the last three years, so he better start planning his cruise vacation right now if the 645D really comes out.
If the 645D really happens, I have a bunch of prime Pentax lenses and a couple of istD bodies that I will be selling the very next day. (For the life of me, I can't figure out why I would need TWO 43mm lenses in black; why do I need a 135mm f2.8 when I have my gorgeous 50-135mm, and I never really seem to use my 20mm, 28mm or 50 f1.4 anymore.)
If you are in my area, please feel free to drop by and try out my new 645D. I will be easy to recognize; I am the one wearing Salvation Army clothes, carrying a $10,000 camera and surrounded by hungry kids in bare feet.
