A bean-bag of the sort that you used to balance on your head! It is a very versatile support for a camera. Some photoequipment suppliers do have some quite exotic bags, but a basic one can be found here http://www.speedgraphic.co.uk/cat.asp?c=109&1=Beanbags
and they are cheap in the way that manfrotto equipment isn't.

There have been interchangable backs on cameras since the film era. I'd imagine that the upgrade on the 645II Digital would be similar. If you look at the photos of the back of the pre-production model there seem to be latches in just the right place for the unit that includes the back LCD screen to be removed...

According to a PDF document I have, (PM me if you want a copy) it will be a Kodak KAF 18000CE sensor of 4904 x 3678 pixels measuring 55.1 mm diagonaly.

It is also suggested that the sensor will be interchangable with future sensors of greater pixel density, ultimately up to 30 megapixels.

At some point, continually providing backwards compatability will become uneconomic and Pentax will be forced to draw a line in the sand somewhere. Sad but true I'm afraid.

buying the K10D and use cheap glass on it is a waste of a good camera in my opinion.

That's a very valid point Golfie, an inferior lens will never get the best out of the camera. Since I bought the 16-45 lens it has hardly been off my camera, and i know a lot of people rate it highly (just get MattM started on the subject!) and the 16-45 range is quite versatile on a digital too.

Trawlerman,

I see the review has a caution about camera shake - not a problem if you fit it to a K10D
