Overall Pentax was known as being the best bang for the buck of the Medium Format producers,
the total system price (camera and a couple of lenses), were near the bottom in most comparisons
and quality, near the top. It will be hard to maintain that first one with a digital body. To keep
that they will have to have a perceived quality and similar feature set to the upcoming Canon 16mp
DSLR and a price closer to the current Kodak 14[x].

why not? i would imagine, people who bought p645 were budget-conscious
(or they would have bought contax instead), and for those, digital MF
right now exists only in theory (pricewise). hopefully, D645 would
cost less than a new
car. then i would buy one.

best,

the 645D will attract a negligible number of non-Pentax MF owners. it's job is
to prevent further defections.
