Actually it's interesting, hia biggest gripe is that that the 645z
handles more like, get this, a medium format camera. Based on what I've
read it's simply amazing that it handles and responds as much like a
modern 24x36mm sensor digital camera as it does, or that at it's price
point it exists at all.

His reviews of pentax gear are generally pretty glowing. He even
really seemed to like the mx-1. I wouldn't be too hard on the guy. His
field test of the 645Z was pretty interesting, especially the video
portion. Looks like pentax still has a way to go before the 645 would
become an adequate video camera in the hands of pros.

I'm on a budget, so I'll definitely choose to not be able to afford the
Pentax at only $10,000 rather than not having $40,000 to spend on the
Mamiya.

Piggybacking on Bruce's post, you may have seen that the new Mamiya
medium format back/camera was announced today:

It is the same sensor found in the Pentax 645D, but at a price of
nearly 4x. For the same moola I would hazard to suggest that if you
have Mamiya 645 glass you could sell it, pick up some Pentax 645 glass
and the 645z and still have enough left over for a nice photo safari
to a distant land where you could put the 645z to WORK.
Oh, also? Instead of the Mamiya's 100-6400 ISO you could get the
645z's ISO Sensitivity Range of 100 - 204,800. (And they have the guts
to call theirs a " high iso single-shot capture device". Both feature
a 3.2" LCD. The 645z can capture JPEGs at 3 FPS and the Mamiya only
1.2 (though it doesn't specify if that is RAW or JPEG).
Crikey.
