Quite right, Jaume, there was plenty of irony in my post  :-)

My quick thoughts on the 645D: They should have scrapped direct
backwards compatibility with legacy glass (but provide a
fully-functional adapter) and created a DSLR-sized and shaped camera
with the (rumoured) 36x48mm sensor. The Leica S2 is a bit smaller than
a Nikon D700--if Leica can do it, so can Pentax. Create something new,
exciting, and affordable (within the segment), that's what I wish
Pentax would have done. Instead, they're just sticking a cropped
sensor in a 645 body, keeping the same registration distance, and
repeating the whole APS-C vs full-frame silliness.

Unless all those mock-ups they've been showing lately are an elaborate
ploy to delude us.

My 2 cents (or 1.6p).
