Does anyone really know when 645D will be released this year at all? Will this ever be released?

Anticipating for this magical masterpiece for ages

I am not that great in sports, not to even mention holding a bloom to clean the house ... hehe

Thanks for the renewed hope ... Pentax gear user usually needs stoicism and patience as virtue. Coming from you being sponsored by pentax certainly gives my confidence a big boost.

Well, hopefully I could pass my forthcoming exam in July. Then I can reward myself with this fantastic camera

I think he would be wronged by pentax sales rep... I am sure Ben is more keen to lay his fingers on this camera more than I do...

Amen!
Last year, I invested a lot of money buying 645 lenses. When Pentax releases 645D at last, I will be the happiest person in this planet

Over the above, if the price is around 7.000 euros (or lower as the rumors say), I will be even happier!
Ben, do you have any information for the price level of the camera?

It has been suggested that it will be lighter and cheaper then an EOS 1DS Mark II

That is what I was told...Look out for other news worthy events related to Pentax as well as the 645D. All I can say is that the K10D set a precident for all future Pentax developements.

Hope the price is about 5000 dollars instead. That would definitely makes this camera really worth while!

I am already starting my lens collection like Gio645 (not as zealous as he is though)
