Re: Special Interview with PENTAX @PMA

[Herb Chong]

if they price their half-frame 645 camera at what they need to so that they 
make a profit, it will be a body that costs over $10K, probably $12K. having 
the next body down be a $800 APS entry level DSLR taking 35mm and D lenses 
leaves a huge hole in the middle. if Pentax is to have anything resembling a 
line of DSLRs instead of just a body, they will have to have a $1.5-2K body 
and a $4-5K body.

I wouldn't be surprised if the high-pixel count version would accept  both 
6x7 and 645 lenses, with an adapter for the 645 versions. That  would 
provide the highest level of compatibility for current pro users.  If 
Pentax is smart, they won't ignore the horde of fashion photogs who  have 
used the 6x7.
