snippets I can't puzzle together:
Pentax says they were about to release it prior to merger with Hoya but would have struggled with distribution and support.
Pentax doesn't feel it can compete with the big two for the high end marked right now.
Pentax does want to offer three level of cameras with one being full on pro.
Pentax doesn't have the ressources for lots of R&D.
Hoya seems to improve on the distrinution side of things.
Hoya isn't a risk taker, never looses money.
If the 645D was so close to being brought to the market and would clearly stand out form CaNikon in the pro sector and Hoya would improve distribution channels, could that mean, that the 645D is out there somewhere, alive and kickin? Or am I just dreaming?
Hey, we need someone to "read between the lines"
Wendy, where are you?
