Antonio...  It's more felxible because it's a fully self contained system.
Digital backs largely require external power sources, and the ones that
don't are huge and cumbersome.  Yes the Pentax system will be quite unique,
and very flexible in that it will allow MF field photography.

Unique? What about the Hasselblad H1 - isn't that a 645 that will take
both film and digital backs? Or the Mamiya 645? I guess if the rumored
new digital Pentax 645 is a dedicated digital body then that will be
kinda of unique, although not as flexible or indeed desirable as the
other systems on the market.
