It will probably hit the market somewhere in the vicinity of $30 grand too. I have seen other digital backs going for $25k.

Even more interesting is that the sensor used by the camera is the Kodak KAF-22000CE CCD sensor which has a pixel area of 4080 x 5440 and measures 38.8 x 50.0 mm (1.5 x 2.0 in). This is a huge sensor with a huge pixel count and according to Sinar "This makes this sensor suitable for applications as a digital replacement of film in modern 645 medium format camera systems, without the need for significant changes in focal lengths." http://www.sinar.ch/press/release/PMKAF-22000-e.pdf ME: Wow, looks like sensor sizes really are on the increase. No mention of angle of incidence problems by going full frame here. Wouldn't one of these in a 645Nii be rather nice?
