But there will probably still be a lot of jello effect, with that big sensor?
so you don't use it for moving camera & action shots..just sweeping panoramas and stunning close-ups.... Don wrote:

Movie capture. This is another huge change for the Pentax 645Z: It is, to the best of our knowledge, the first medium-format camera ever to allow Full HD movie capture. (That is to say, 1,920 x 1,080 pixels.) No crop is applied; instead, video is recorded across the whole sensor, providing the same depth-of-field effects and medium-format look of still imaging.

maybe the other medium format cameras didn't have the k3's processing power to cut costs.. or maybe they don't have the metal on metal chassis design that works as a heat sink to dissipate the heat ...

either way this is a winner... and unfortunately I can't afford it... if they go the K-01 on steroids route with interchangeable lensmounts for every lens ever made by any brand (which they might do AFTER they start selling a boatload of 645 lenses) before they retire the 645z then I'll likely be able to make the jump THEN as I suspect a 645 mirrorless would be a great camera at a rediculous price for medium format... maybe 2 grand less than the new Z

if they are smart, there will be an android/ios app that allows you to use your phone/tablet as a remote and transmits large files to your pc/mac in the background...

depends on who you ask...
magazines give preference to who pays thier bills.
I say hand me anything and I'll prove it's a pro camera.

I want a mirror-less camera (still and 4k video) that takes a standard SSD hard drive, has wi-fi connectivity and full tethering and live view via IOS/android device, a 50 mp medium format sensor, and interchangeable lens mount.
is that too much to ask?

what if the 645-z turns out to be a mirrorless 645-d with several optional adaptors for aps-c, full frame k, 645 and 6x7 lens mounts plus options for adaptors for all other lens mounts from third parties? (obviously some lenses will be cropped to use less of the sensor but still).
A K-01 on steroids?
or a fixed focal length camera with the 645-d sensor
and it gets rolled out at the same time as the 645-DII

four tips...
1) baby can't fall off the floor, so the safest place to set up is the floor.
2) a formed foam pillow (you can even mod it easily with a electric bread knife) and swatch of faux fur makes a great propping mat and cusion.
3) flash won't hurt baby but might startle, so keep the power dialled down.
4) after feeding, bathing and napping all done is best time to get a bright eyed, co-operative, smiling baby.
Congrats!
