According to Amazon Japan, Pentax 645D will start shipping on May 20th, 2010:
The price is ¥848,000 with tax (around $9370). Amazon Japan does not ship electronics to other countries (for now the 645D will be sold only in Japan). Some other sites, like JapanTrendShop.com will probably offer shipping outside Japan for a premium.
“Pentax has finally introduced a medium-format digital SLR. The ruggedized, outdoor-friendly 645D is compatible with Pentax 645 lenses. The Bad news? No plans as yet to sell it in the U.S.”
