Yeah. I guess we're not supposed to know it's the 645 - just the z.

It will be available in 24 colors and the front logo will be customizable with default choices of "Ricoh Z", "Pentax", or "645Z". For an additional charge your custom logo such as "Bill's Photo" can be added. Custom logos must be text only (no graphics) but can be in a complementary color to the camera.

A fashion photog picking one outfit? But black goes with everything!

Why a cheese sandwich camera? What about photographers who are lactose intolerant? I'd say ham sandwich, but then vegetarians might be upset. We need to think this through!

I propose we create an interdisciplinary, ethnographically diverse, and fully equitable alimentary panel to discuss the inclusive merits of the new !00% Organic and Certified Vegan Pentax GastroFlexMatic Z-1 Mirrorless 67 Camera (Gluten-Free).

But you're not supposed to eat the camera!!! It is only for 'display' much like the wax fruit on some people's dining room tables.. And let me tell you, that stuff does NOT taste pleasant.

not sure if this was posted in the thread, but the UK version of teaser actually gives days, hours, minutes and seconds (I guess Brits just didn't have the 'patience' to count...

Karakteristisk Format.Stor Lysstyrke. | RICOH IMAGING

also, on the Japanese teaser, there is now another section with more info (click on the arrow down)...

When I am looking at it from here in Paris, France, everything appears in French, including the page header, but a copy and paste of the link on the forum gives the same result:

Karakteristisk Format.Stor Lysstyrke. | RICOH IMAGING instead of "La nouvelle dimension d'un boîtier unique | RICOH IMAGING"

Looks like Ricoh is really stepping up their marketing effort.

Wow. All those systematically applied chemtrails ...

No wonder people get suspicious.

Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie.

Also useful for FF Siren Song deflection and 15mm Limited mind control shielding.

**shardulm** · 04-09-2014, 07:33 PM

Why are they calling it "Distinct Format"...? Unmistakable brilliance is understandable. Distinct would mean a format that they did not have in the current line up which is FF.
If it is 645Z or 645 mkii of a 645D or something then why would they call it a distinct format? MF already existed. I am struggling to make sense out of that line ...
