That depends on your market! I was thinking of people like Mark, landscapists who would make the most out of the 645D. If Mark can take a shot with his A850 and uprez it to 40MP (in a 3:4 ratio) and have it look close to the same scene photographed with the 645D, then I see little reason to spend 5x as much buying it if you can get 95% of the way there with a $2,000 A850. Now, if you're dealing with art directors, clients, etc. and need to look professional, then you need a large MF camera to impress them, because that's the sad way of the World. --M. -- \/\/o/\/\ --> http://WorldOfMiserere.com http://EnticingTheLight.com A Quest for Photographic Enlightenment -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
