"It has been said that because it lacks interchangeable backs, in the future the Pentax 645 won't be able to take a digital back. Nonsense. While it's unlikely that third parties will modify their digital backs to fit the Pentax's insert opening, there's no technical limitation preventing Pentax from providing a digital insert if they so wished. (In fact I believe that the reason for the NII upgrade was primarily to provide the needed electronic shutter release connections for the digital back, which Pentax has indeed now done. Time will tell.)" > -----Original Message----- > From: Rob Brigham > Sent: 06 September 2002 15:22 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Pentax WILL (most likely) show a digital SLR at > Photokina! > > > There was talk that the 645nii has power outlet sockets for a > digital insert on luminous landscape.
