I'd take a little survey to see who of us on the PDML would even remotely consider investing in a Pentax 645 DSLR even if it came in only US$1000 more expensive than a Canon 5D. It still wouldn't interest me. However Pentax could probably sell me a K-mount DSLR at the same price as a Canon 5D though (assuming it contained better than the standard 6MP Sony sensor).
