PENTAX 645Z ??????????????? - ????info

And a microphone jack

(and the selector photo/video of course)

Thanks JPT.

Rather simple and original method of selection of photo/video.

Has a 5 Gbit/s SuperSpeed USB 3 plug next to the microphone too, according to the SS USB logo there. Just like the K-3. Ditto for the SDXC w. UHS-1 support logo.

Jokes aside, I shoot birds with my K10D which as you'll know has an inferior AF, poor low light capabilities, and also only has 3FPS.... Ok granted lenses on the very long end are also going to be an issues, as will weight but it could be amusing to try it....

Germany is showing a 645D and not a 645Z.

I think the new Pentax Z is a different camera

Kunzite · 04-13-2014, 01:53 AM

They edited the 645D page with 645Z's specs - that's how the information leaked.
Don't worry, most of the specs are correct

Actually it works well, although I must admit a K-3 with an AF lens would be much easier

. 645D, 600mm +1.4x:

Thanks. Here's another, handheld using Pentax's notoriously poor AF

645D, 400mm FA.

Wow. First time seeing birds from medium format I think. How much is this cropped? Would be nice to see the full frame
