I find the price trend on the 645D to be interesting (if my empty pocketbook says I'm not quite tempted yet). It seems that there are more 645D on the market recently, and I it occurs to me that some are probably upgrading to the 645z and some are possibly selling in anticipation of getting the Pentax FF (or moving to some other FF system). We can't discount the fact that as time moves on the 645D becomes older and older technology, which also accounts for some of the price slide.
I don't think we are terribly far away from seeing used 645D bodies selling for under $2K. It is possible that the FF Pentax's actual introduction may even exert a little upward pressure back on the 645D, depending upon it's price and specs: One might be deciding between the latest Pentax technology K-1 at 36 or 42 MP for $2895 vs the 40MP 645D for a chunk less. If this happens, the price progression would be: Flagship APS-C: K-3 II 2nd Generation 645D Full frame: K-1 Medium format 1st generation: 645z Thoughts? -- Life is too short to put up with bad bokeh. -- 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.
