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?
Yeah, I think I'll wait a few months after the new FF body is introduced
before buying one. Give it time for any problems to manifest and get fixed.
