Akihabaranews (more pictures available) got one of the first first Pentax 645D units for testing. Expect detailed report from them in the next two weeks. Amazon Japan list the 645D to be available on May 30th, 2010.

There were already some rumors that the Pentax 645D will be available in Poland and now Quesabesde seems to have a confirmation that the medium format camera will indeed come to Europe after the summer with a price tag of 7.000 Euros.

Pentax 645D can now be pre-ordered for international shipping through the third party reseller JapanTrendShop.com. Officially, the 645D will only be available in Japan. Some reports indicated a possible release in Poland.

Pentax Poland is now displaying the new medium format Pentax 645D camera on their website and some online stores have it listed as avaailable in July 2010: Via PentaxForums

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.” The source is Adorama. Their source was a Pentax US rep (twitter link):
