I'm happy to announce that PentaxForums.com will soon be receiving an evaluation copy of the 645D for review.

Wow! I'm very much looking forward to that. Does that imply that the introduction to the US market isn't that far away?

Brilliant announcement and a proud moment for pentax. I think this will be THE professional camera till someone else tops this. At least people will take Pentax seriously.

Wow! An evaluation copy?! That would be a much better prize for the million post give away than a Kx

DavidC · 04-20-2010, 07:49 PM

Sounds great - probably out of my price range though....

I hope that the current 645 FA Line is present for testing.

I am indeed looking forward to this test. I have considered the camera, but in addition this would require a major computer upgrade for me. The images from the 645D are quite large and will bring all but the best computers down once you try to do some real work with them.

Exactly my thoghts!
I am dreaming to get one somewhere near christmas time (seeing real pictures, reviews, responses from real users). And! Att the same time I hope there will be better prices for Blu-ray+SSD+32nm intel+USB3+etc system.

Even though I'm not at all the kind of photographer who could use one day this beautiful 645D, I think it's really a great step forward for Pentax...

I hope the users will be glad with it !

Ihave been snapping away with my K20D for a year and a half and I have made so many mistakes but I have also captured treasured shots that are absolutely amazing!!!!

The new Pentax 645D is bit out of my price range but if I win the lotto I will be investing!!!

So by saying "Pentax Forums" is receiving the camera for evaluation, does that mean that Adam is getting it? Or are you going to pass it around
