Contrary to popular $3,000 myth 645D will launch at $15,000.
I added & completed my Eos 5D system (ALL) this year for $ 9,900
What did $9,900 outlay get me?
Two 5D
16-35mm 2.8L II
24-70mm 2.8L
70-200mm 2.8L IS
300mm f4L IS
50mm 2.5 Macro
100mm 2.8 Macro
1.4x II
2x II
all brand new all boldly marked Made in Japan, Canon.
Had K20D not launched so high: $1299 I would have likely not added and completed my eos system this year. AND I grew tired of the annual full frame K Mount rumours.
Anyone else notice pentax revised K20D issue to $999 around Halloween 2008, What was that about? Did the many $1,299 buyers of K20D get a check in the mail for difference?
So one 645D and maybe one kit lens, and if I recall correctly thats (((not))) going to be "full frame" 645D would have instead run me an additional $5,100 for equiptment I have available to use now. Oh, and thats if 645D were available for sale today or last 5 years its been roadmapped.
Why not 645D? I cannot afford it had it been available this year and I could not afford it over last 5 years its been roadmapped to launch.
Anyways, over the years I acquired both geniune 645 to K Mount and 6x7 to K Mount adapters and with my simple $10 shanghi china made brass K Mount to eos mount adapters I already have a crop 645D glass and 6x7D lens platform via full frame 24x36mm format. I wonder how big or cropped the 645D is supposed to be? Maybe I already own both?
See my pics of my 645 and 6x7 dslr, if you're intersted:

Unfortunatelly, not even top pro DSLRs won't have a viewfinder similar to the one from the ME Super. That's the price we had to pay for autofocus (is that spelled right? Or it's called out-of-focus?)
