…the Pentax 645D:
This is according to Pentax’s President of US Operations Ned Bunnell. Expected release date: early 2010.
I guess the Pentax K2Ds rumor is now busted.

It’s about time!
I think I smell the rotting flesh of overpriced European kings of greed.
I am curious when we will see the first comments on, Nikon hasnt got…, or Canon hasnt got…, I am switching to Pentax 645D
this is not new! we saw it frequently! and this is a digital medium back.
but the question is : WHEN be announce?
I like, how the front command section looks exactly like the Nikon DSLR approach.
does this mean Canon and Nikon will be announcing medium format cams next?
Canon’s been working on MF for years. Wouldn’t surprise me if we see their implementation in the next few…
But, in answer to the other cat who says that they can’t believe no one’s been saying, “Canon hasn’t got,” or “Nikon hasn’t got…” it’s because, for some reason or another, Canon and Nikon live outside those standards. They don’t do weatherproofing well, they can’t reduce sensor dust in the slightest. Canon’s weak spot has been color accuracy… for YEARS and no one says anything about it other than as a small negative tick mark in the “cons” list. And then only occasionally. It’s okay that Nikon keeps having power issues or that both manufacturers have quietly a.) replaced old lenses with new while still allowing their fans to tout the “fact” that digital specific optics = kool-aid and b.) have increased their prices annually for the past 4 years to accomodate this change.
No C and N can do as they please. I once told people, as an example, that Olympus could invent a camera that runs on nuclear cold fusion, has the lowest ISO signal to noise ratio in history, could, in theory, actually project the near future in braille, and someone would still say, “Yeah but the sensor’s too small.” I still believe this. And I’ll throw Sony in that bandwagon to boot because, of all of the manufacturers, Sony has the budget to do what they want (people need to get over the theory of what a “real” camera company is. Today’s camera companies are today’s electronics manufacturers, whether we like it or not).
The marketing hype has won the day and it will be a bit before cooler heads prevail.
