A Little Bit More Update on the 645D (Official)

The Japanese DC Watch has reported today that Pentax has updated at their Japanese website for more concrete information about the upcoming 645D (just a little bit):-

http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/20100302_352104.html

These include the 645D sensor will be about 1.7 times larger than a 135 full frame one (in area) and that it has dual SDHC slots (still not SDXC compliance? :-() that can be written either simultaneously or sequentially.

Btw, I believe more news about the 645D will come, as the Japanese Camera & Photo Imaging Show 2010 is approaching, very soon.

Update News (3-9):

Updates are continuously posted at the Pentax Japanese homepage for more 645D information (but yet still very little):-

Now, it is told that the sensor is of 4,000 Mega Pixels. (See "Preview Vol. 4" - Click on the respective link 〈ニュース情報はこちら〉in the above page will bring you there.)

Look back - well loved by professional and others the Pentax 6x7, Pentax 645 & 645 II. Lenses from 645 system WILL BE COMPATIBLE WITH 645D according to multiple sources - as we can see it with K-mount... I'm using 35 yo to current Pentax only lenses on K-x. The MF IS a standard Pentax market they KNOW from past! Can you see it?

Bear76: Are you sure about it?

Because I have old K10D (very good camera) and 11 lenses (lenses cost me cca 5-6000 USD). And now, there is no camera for me... I don´t like K7. So small for my big hands and with worse image quality than K20D. So if I want new camera, I need to move and sell everything. I´m suck... Pentax probably don´t want me, coz he don´t offer me any product.

Just tell me please... WHY I should buy 645D? There is many other systems with similar price. I can buy PO 645 AFD + 80 LS + 22 A5 with Xsync 1/1600. Why Pentax?
@ risinsun: Who is going to buy a Nikon d3x? Yep also professional photographers. The 645D is for studio, advertisement work maybe high fashion or landscape work. Who is hasselblad selling to you think? The 645D could be the poor man Hasselblad, for a beginning studio on a budget. I sure would buy one if the 645D is a excellent studio cam.
