What Bill said. That's pretty much where I'm at on both a new D and a
645 digital.

. i am willing to pay $5K for a better
spec body, but at that price, i expect it to be a Nikon D2X clone in
specs. i think if Pentax can sell 10-20K higher spec bodies at $2500,
derived from the current *istD, they will break even. KM is most
likely going to announce a 9D in the spring. we're going to get the
645D instead. i think Pentax will be lucky to sell 2000 of them.
If it takes 5 grand for Pentax to put what you want (which, as it
happens, is also what I want) on the table, I would buy it, but for
that much, it's build had better be exquisite as well. Actually, I'd
prefer it to have a nice build.
While I like the idea of a digital 645, I'm probably not in their
target market.
I'm not willing to buy into a fifth lens line at the moment.
The exception for me would be if it would use, and use well, the 6x7
lenses, in which case I would certainly consider one.
But it would have to use CF cards.
