Wouldn't it make more sense, though, since film is already assumed to be dead by your average consumer in the US and Europe, but its still got a ways to go to MF and pro usage. Again, I'm not Pentax scholar, or business scholar, but it seems like there's a wide open market, and they could actually beat others to the punch and deliver one killer professional solution, which will someday have a drop-in digital insert. Doesn't the 645 have capacity for 6 auxillary AA batteries in its grip, as well as whatever batteries in the main unit? That's a perfect power source for a digital back, isn't it? -- http://www.infotainment.org "The destructive character is cheerful." - Walter Benjamin
