645D: Now it's priced like a Hassy... That's what Ricoh take over meant:-(
IMHO, it's no doubt that the D800 is getting very close to the 645D, so the next 645D model needs to get both more mp and possibly also a larger sensor. Btw. my little pet theory is that while the Japanese version of this lens, the D-FA 25mm, may be good enough for film, it may not be the best performer on a digital 645 FF camera. By making the "world version" a crop only lens, they have guarded themselves against getting too many future complaints...

It just doesn't make sense to put a 3/4 year old crappy PANY sensor into a new camera.
Again the same crappy Pany sensors route. Again watch the NEX line from behind.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the low ISO DR performance of the sensor. The GX-1 and G3 are a bit weak in the low ISO department (dxomark rates the GH2 DR as almost a stop better). It's really the only possibly weak spot I see in this camera, otherwise I'm really impressed.

umbalito: DA Limited Zoom??!! DA Limited Zoom! DA Limited Zoom!
Not quite sure what to make of the DA* ultra zoom either. From the markings on the chart, it almost looks like a 24-80. Pretty useless for APS-C. I doubt they can make an 18-200 f/2.8? Unless they're turning the DA* nomenclature to mean weather-sealed only, and no longer constant aperture and weather-sealed.
Yes, it looks like it could be a 17-85 or thereabouts, but I'm thinking that it's all a bit diffuse because they don't to reveal if this is for an upcoming FF DSLR or not ;)

00112233: Pentax 645D body is 156x117x119mm and weights 1480g. incl. batt. Canon EOS 1DX as announced is 158x164x83mm and weights "TBC" Now, to find out what TBC is we can assume that physically has the same type of construction and materials as the EOS 1D Mark IV which is smaller and weights 1230g. incl. batt., the 1DX will then weight more, specially if we include the wireless file transmitter and the GPS receiver. The difference in weight between the 645D and the 1DX will become very small indeed. So I wonder who is going to have pains in shoulders. Fortunately most professionals have assistants that help carrying equipment!
It has no ExpSim? I guess it doesn't even come with a coffee brewer, then?

pabloman: It should've been FULLFRAME.

D1N0: want!
Richard: You would never actually go anywhere with it - because of weight and size, or because it's so expensive?
