Just a guess, so take it FWIW, but I expect the current version
of the 645 will be around for a while. Pentax tends to have a
fairly long production cycle. Maybe they will do a Mamiya and
put a body with interchangable backs out (which would certainly
be significant), but I don't wxpect to see the core features of
the present camera being changed or upgraaded any time soon.
This is, however, just a guess.
