I actually consider it almost a dead heat as far as image quality between the two , with a slight edge going to the 645Z. I own several K-1's , and have rented a 645Z for a weekend . Dynamic range gets a very slight edge on the K-1......overall the 645Z is amazing and hands down is slightly more impressive than the K-1 , but not by much.
what really was the selling point for me is simply the image size. I can do 6-9 shots and stitch on the 645 , whereas it takes me double that or more on the K-1.
I went through 6 months of anguish if I should get the 645D , 645Z , or just continue with the K-1.
In the end it actually came down to my lens choice. I was actually afraid the DA25mm lens would be impossible to find at nearly any price. I stumbled on a good deal through a professional Photography contact/friend. we discussed this for about 6 hours on the phone.......in the end....He paused to think about it.....I "Pounced" on the deal.
who knows where all this will end up......lol.

DA version
