Even Sony is struggling in the 135 format market
What Pentax will do with the 645D is different because lets face it, the model hasn't changed much from the prototype 5 years or so ago and the hardware is almost precisely the same as the K7 so they wouldn't have had much development cost with the 645D.
It also seems they have looked at the users that still use the Pentax 645 today and that's why it's aimed at landscape photography primarily and they are offering different then others.
I think Pentax has more potential at making the 645D an success story then a 135 format.
To be honest I'm actually hoping pentax would make a camera that could compete against the Canon 7D, that model seems to work out very well for Canon.

Video is a very different medium to stills photography. Photos have a beautiful economy to them, they're like haikus to video's novels.
But I also believe that video with a DSLR is very different then with a videocamera.
It's interesting to see how the new medium will involve in... maybe close to something like a moving photo?

And a section for endoscopy please.
Nobody said that Pentax video wasn't acceptable here...the Pentax Digital SLR section can quite happily accommodate any discussion relating to what Pentax DSLRs can do.
If you want us to watch your movie, then why not just a link to wherever you have it hosted? Photobucket works well for stills, how is it for Video?

The modifiers I use eat a stop of light so the AF200 would be an effective 10GN flash so I would need two of those mounted side by side to get more power but the YN460-II is then just as powerful and cheaper so it simply isn't interesting.
For macro the AF200 is surely enough but not for strobist work

It's been said quite some many times now that it's not fully a photography forum but a Pentax forum. Pentax now has video so it's only logical to have a video section right.

Someone even did his end exam by present a video instead of a photo, it seems times are changing.
Good, bad... I don't know but now that it's here it isn't going away so lets try to master it.
Has any one have some good movies?

If I would use the AF200T or AF240T I would need at least two to get the power output that I want, I also want zoom on my flash.
The AF400T is a hammer flash and wouldn't fit on my flash stands I think

It's a bit weird really... If you are on a photography course, it should really be about exploring the unique challenge of photography - creating a world within just one image (or a series of images).... just visual, without sound or movement.
Wouldn't you smack yourself on the head if it's getting normal in the industry over 3 years to also film with your DSLR and that you know nothing about it when you graduate
Also with the amount of smartphones on the market, e-paper and the iPad things might change, instead of a photos you can have a 5 second video for example, DSLR would be perfect to produce such short clips I think but who knows what the future might bring.
