Thanks for the welcome.
I agree that it probably would be a different beast altogether and perhaps doing what I suggest and calling it a 645dmk2 (or whatever) would be akin to Leica's mini-M escapade.
I just think what I suggested would be a rather elegant solution to the problem of the inherent wasted light in using a cropped sensor and given the current size of a 645d, there should be room for quite a hefty battery.

Hi, I'm a completely new user at the forums here, but have been looking at buying a 645D for sometime, but been waiting for the mk2 before buying one.
Now this CMOS sensor has come on the market, I've had a quick idea.
A little background, I've spent a lot of time shooting with Sony NEX cameras and have as such become used to two things:
1) The ways of the EVF. I know some people think of them as an evil, but they work for me.
2) Lens adapters, specifically the metabones speed boosters.
Idea for the 645d mk2
The new CMOS sensor is a 1.3 crop, which means lenses aren't as wide as they should be and they waste a lot of light.
You can't add a speedbones style adapter on to the current mount, because the mirror box dictates the flange sensor distance.
You don't need a mirror box because the CMOS sensor supports live view and therefor an EVF.
You could build an adapter into the camera where the mirror box is...
But there's probably loads of reasons why not to do this.
