I do think it would be nice if Hoya/Pentax would get their collective arse moving on that front with the 645D. I'm sure they have business reasons for the delays to deal with, but there are a lot of Pentax MF users who would be made happy with the release of this camera.
Not just business reasons for the delay; I think they needed the market to settle down in terms of equipment requirements. Remember the original 645D was supposed to be 18 megapixels. That looked silly pretty quickly, (regardless of the folly of comparing MF and 35mm systems by counting pixels - it's all in the marketing). It gradually moved up as the 35mm full-frame cameras went to 16 megapixels and more. Perhaps things have settled down enough now that they may be ready to have a go at it.
