dumb idea. You have to crawl before you can run. No point in 645 DSLR unless it were full frame and it would be much more likely that they would develop and sell full frame 35mm DSLR, before tackling FF 645DSLR. jco

This will take the form of a D645-type camera, IMO. Pentax has no aspirations to re-enter the 35mm-style DSLR professional market. There's no point, Nikon and Canon have it sewn up. Pentax have a big chance with the D645 if they can make it happen - Pentax medium format is respected and used by many professional photographers. If they can unfurl a new sail and ride on the same wind, they'll go the distance. .02, Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=====| www.macads.co.uk/snaps _____________________________ Free UK Mac Ads www.macads.co.uk
