34mm x 45mm (1.3 FOV crop for 645)

Pentax has publicly stated that they see no reason why a digital SLR
should be any larger than the equivalent film SLR. But we won't see 24 x
36 in a standard 35mm-size body until the sensors are much more of a
commodity item. Just like what happened with the APS-C sensor in the
ist-D and DS. Not going to happen until low-cost CMOS sensor fabs come
on line (probably in China) and the use of two or more small sensors to
substitute for a single large sensor becomes more common.
