Nice work Alan. Action with 645NII and 67II!
I am hoping that Pentax continues with its strategy of trying not to compete directly with the bigger manufacturers. It is not trying to emulate Canon and Nikon offering in APS-C/Full Frame/35mm formats with lenses or cameras. It is offering something a little different. That is the approach I hope they continue with the 645D. Pentax 645 has a large following in Asia and I am assuming most of those are not working pros shooting studio work, with strobes and who require clean, low ISO abilities. I am guessing that their target audience for the 645D are enthusiastic amateurs with some pros mixed in. The enthusiasts shoot outdoors, indoors, available light etc. So the target audience is not the same one that is looking at the Leica S2, Hasselblad H series, Phase One/Mamiya - just something a little different. Different enough to warrant a 645D.

All hand held. I think they might exemplify "decisive moment/ peak-of-action " for these events. Sure wish I had High ISO!
