I just read a review of the PhaseOne 645DF in Shutterbug. Aside from being considerably more expensive than the 645D, there was an obvious difference in the reviews of the 645D. The DF is a studio camera and a but hard to use. Most of the 645D reviews have a guy running outside in the rain with the D and popping off these amazing nature shots. Price aside, Pentax may have really nailed the Digital MF field camera.
