There have been conflicting reports on the sensor used in the 645D.
Originally it was announced as 18 megapixels and later 22. Some recent
reports are saying 18 but I suspect they're just looking at old press
releases: A check of Kodak's web site reveals that the 18 megapixel
sensor isn't listed any more. Probably been discontinued as it didn't
make a lot of sense to offer both the 18 and 22 megapixel sensors
(unless there was a big cost difference between them, which probably
wasn't the case).
We're likely looking at a 22 megapixel camera.
That was a man from Pentax UK who said it would have 22 MPix, now we
have official info about 18 Mpix on Pentax home page. Yes it is
strange that no info on KAF-18000CE is on Kodak pages, but it could
be made exclusively to Pentax specifications and not available for
sale just as Sony makes sensors for Nikons D2H and D2X - you can't
buy them. And this 18 MPix sensor was heralded as completely new, so
maybe it is not available for sale yet??? On the other side -
difference between 18 and 22 MPix is about the same as between 6 and
7 Mpix...
