Just to point out, Pentax did release a cropped 645 sensor before the FF. Part of me just sees Pentax stubbornly avoiding that one sensor.
These sensor classes only make sense because we have all these established lenses around. Notice that "cropped 645" is an interesting way of saying "not 645". In many ways the the 645D is, to a neutral observer, a direct competitor to the high end Canikon offerings. Bigger sensor, worse electronics (like AF). I wonder how cheap a body Pentax could build around that sensor. Anyone have an idea how much that sensor costs relative to a, say, 24.5 MP FF sensor?
