Almost Official: 645D Replacement Model is Coming!

In a recent interview by the Japanese Impress photo magazine (Issue No. 1 of 2014) with the Chief Sales and Marketing Manager of the Japanese Ricoh Imaging, it is hinted that the 3.5 years old 645D will possibly be replaced in 2014 in due course:

It is asked by the editor that if something more concrete would be disclosed as early as CP+, the Ricoh official refused to respond and didn't tell anything (but just laughed). Btw, it is guessed by the magazine editorial that the 645D replacement should have a change in sensor format and they even predict that it could use a Full Size 645 sensor! Oh really?! :-o

Are you expecting anything less? 645D II comez with two new lensez, third one announced, but will be released later.
I'd take a 645 over a full frame any day. Now to just hit the lottery! :)

A FF 645 would be really sweet. Aren't the new 645 lenses designed for crop sensor though or do they cover the whole format? I think there was some confusion to this originally.

I thought people were looking for smaller cameras?
