Perhaps. In fact, a 24 s 36 sensor camera might be part of the 645 family. But I don't expect to see it. anywhere in the lineup. I figure they'll stick with the current sensor and the 645. If there's to be anything new on the high end, it might be a higher resolution 645. That cold make the current 645 more affordable. At present, there's not that much of a price spread between the 645 and high-end 24 x 36 cameras. Entering that fray, would be akin to shooting oneself in the foot. Pentax doesn't need to go there and probably won't. Paul On Dec 17, 2011, at 8:50 PM, Steven Desjardins wrote:
