Let's hope it will be better than Kodak's CMOS sensor used in DCS-14x
models. It wasn't too good noise-wise.

645D was rumoured to cost around 5000-7000 USD so that would be very good
price for digital MF. And it is not so unlikely if you consider that Kodak's
FF DCS-14 bodies that uses either F80 or SD-10 body as base (so they must
buy it from someone else) sell for abut 4000$.

I think it will use AF sensor array as used in *istD/Ds. So they better
improve its low-ligt performance, otherwise it will be just "some darn slow
AF" ;-)

Both are great cameras. I wish Pentax could produce *istD succesor with
12MPix sensor as used in D2X. And AF performance at level of D2X would be
nice too ;-)
