Originally posted by Wasp The one thing that worries me a little about the 645D is that they are all quite old now. Any problems might be expensive or impossible to resolve. By rights the price should reflect this, but internet sellers have not received that memo yet. Bit of a bummer,that one. I would really like a 645D but prices remain way outside my modest means. For now I get my CCD kicks with a K200D. Perhaps I should get another K10D to replace my deceased one.
To be fair about the 645D being old, which it is, it goes without saying that they are extremely well designed and rugged body that has a reputation of not needing servicing. I looked up every bit of information (reports) on the internet about 645Ds failing, needing servicing and found the camera is not one that sees the Pentax servicing centers often, if ever. Combined with the excellent image quality of the CCD sensor and low prices on 2nd hand glass don't expect the 645D prices to go much lower, if at all for the next few years.
