There was a rumor floating just after PMA this year, that Pentax would aim to compete with the highest priced offerings in the 35mm market. Which at that time was the Canon 1DsMkII. I didn't check USA prices back then, but Norwegian retail price for the Canon at that time was around NOK 70.000,- (using the dot as thousands separator.). Since then, the Canon offering has come down to about half of that figure, so I suppose it's no longer a valid comparison. The Mamiya ZD currently sells for NOK 78.000,-. I would expect the Pentax 645D to come in somewhere between 60.000,- and 70.000,-.
With the current exchange rate, that's 10.000-11.000 USD. I suppose the US prices will creep well below that mark. Maybe 8.000,-?
