This comparison has come up before.  Rarely do I hear anyone compare the 
potential market viability of the 645D to whatever Hassy is selling. 
Does anyone actually buy those damn things?  From what I've read most 
photographers who need a camera like that tend to rent them.  A 645D 
costing 8 or 10K US seems, to me at least, very competitive vs. a 30K 
Hasselblad.  Maybe I'm smoking crack again.
