Kodak 22 megapixel is what Hasselblad have been using and doing very well

Now they have upped the ante a little with the release of the H2 system
and a 39 megapixel Kodak sensor.
These chips are not cheap as we all know, neither are "pro level" camera
bodies.
Other MF systems are sticking with replaceable backs and you need only buy
the
new back to be up with the latest/greatest in the megapixel race, thereby
using
the same body for years to come. The down side of this is that new
advancements
in the body pass you by.
I think whatever (slightly less than) Medium Format solution Pentax arives
at
the deciding factor, not surprisingly, be price.
Will you be able to simply fob off your 22 Megapixel 645D in favour a new
<insert MP here>
body?
At a resent Hasselblad launch I was shown the ease at which folks were
discarding their old
10Mp backs in favour of the newer 22MP and 39Mp treats.

But a digital back cost more than a Pentax DSLR. The back solutions isn't
very cost effective. If it was, it would have been used on Nikons and Canons
as well.
