It will most likely be similar to the Nikon D200, which B&H has priced at
l699. If it can equal that camera in specs, it will be a winner in my book.
I'm sure it will accommodate early lenses in a manner at least as efficient
as the D.
I' am somewhat dissapointed. I think it is just an *isD with a better
sensor. I also think that the camera looks rather bland particularly if it
cost semi-pro money. The contrast to the 645D couldn't be larger. Although
the 645D is no classical beauty, it is camera with presence, original design
and doesn't look like anything else. In addition the design offers uniqe
features. Most importantly the slanted top panel makes it possible to adjust
and see setting when the camera is on a tripod at eye level. Anyone who has
tried to change setting on, say, the Z-1p (who is the worst offender of all
cameras as the LCD panel is at the top of the prism), under such
circumstances knows it involves taking the camera off the tripod for setting
functions. Also the two tripod sockets are brilliant. Why don't Pentax make
their semi-pro K-mount DSLR similar? They are no longer bound to the old
shapes dictated by film-
