How is it obsolete? I don't think they stop working when another camera
comes out, and when the 645D was introduced, it was rather a game changer.
I have spent some time with the 645D. It will take more than a 36mp
small format camera to make the 645D obsolete.
But, one would have to use both to know this.
I have.
Have you?
Not intending to butt heads with you Bill. It's obviously not
obsolete, but it loses a degree of relevance. If one can arguably get
a camera that's quite close in resolution and other performance
factors, with a huge lens catalog to choose from. for about 1/3 the
price...
I looked yesterday and cannot remember the figures, but the DxO
scores were fairly close between the aforementioned bodies (one troll
to another).
Tom C,
I guess viewfinders don't matter any more. The 645 is a joy to look
through, the D800 has, by comparison, a dinky little viewfinder with
dancing lights flashing seemingly at random. I realize this is a small
thing that probably won't matter to many people, but the 645 is a much
nicer camera to work with.
That used to mean something. It seems these days, all that matters is
the number of megapixels.
