the Leica with a 10MP sensor and less components lists for $9K. since Kodak
also makes the 645D sensor, there no chance that the 645D sensor will cost
substantially less than the one used in the Leica. the sensor makes up
easily half the OEM cost of the camera.

There's a world of price differentiation between and F3 and the 645D.
Yeah, hobbyists will use a 645 system that they purchased for a grand or
so. But will they come up with close to 10K for a digital body? Some say
it will be much more. I doubt it. If there's no pro market for a 645D, it
will be dead on arrival.
