645D Review

Enjoy link
Shutter doesn't sound so nice as the K7 but it does seem to be quite quiet.

ps. don't laugh at the translation

Edit, sweet looking mirror mechanism

Translation sense makes does not! to quote Yoda.

The images of the body are very interesting though.

And try to have a body, but an honest impression is that I feel lighter than it looks. To quote Osamu Takeshi the reviewer.

Indeed it's interesting, also the comparison with the 645N II & the K7.

Would love to see some photos taken with it but we've to wait for that sadly

Here is a review on Luminous Landscape: link


Makes for easier reading than Stefan's Google translation.

[quote="Pentax guy on LL"]Therefore we plan to release soon a new wide high-end lens that will complement our existing wide lineup and be able to fully realize the image quality potential of the sensor for wide applications. It is also going to restore some of the wide capability that we have lost because of the smaller size of the sensor used in the 645D compared to 645 film.

[/quote]so that lens we saw pictures of IS a wide angle, and from the last sentance probably wider than 35mm.

Yeah but no comparison and a real review but an interview

so that lens we saw pictures of IS a wide angle, and from the last sentance probably wider than 35mm.[/quote]Yes, that's right. Seems they are going to make some good wide lenses first and then the tele.
