My heart sank when I read Ken Rockwells "review" of this camera, especially the but where he states the camera has "stupid picture modes," I immediately thought it was nothing more than a grown up Kx Followed by visions of Pentax going down the pan
Fortunately Gwyns link lists the modes you'd expect with no mention of "landscape or portrait" etc
I can see this appealing to a lot of pros, especially those who's budget doesnt stretch to the competition.

Comment by Don posted on news on the 645D about crop? at 10/03/2010 - 23:08
for me the previously popular faster af, faster burst mode etc etc, but I'd be most happy to see an articulated flip out lcd screen (or better yet a detachable (even if wired though wireless would rock) lcd screen that also works as remote) but touch sensitive with "Spot focus" and "Spot metering" so you can touch the screen on the point you want in focus or to meter....
combined with video and the ability to program a rack focus shot (ie a start and end point for the focus) and an audio jack...
that and dual card slots so you can shoot video and still simultaneously.

how ever long it takes for Pentax to assess the market.... if the demand is there, they'll supply, or someone else will grab the opportunity.

it does look like a 16x9 frame, and the Filmstrip edges might mean 24p mode for "Film" look....

the pantone huey works on my apple macbooks.
so yeah you can calibrate the laptops.
spanner, apple gouges on ram prices there are lots of "how-to"'s on the intrwebs on upgrading the mac mini.
if your are brave and handy you can save a nice chunk of change.
fwiw I upgraded the hard drive in my emac years ago now that was no easy upgrade, but the mini is medium skill level, to be avoided if you're the type that thinks a screwdriver is a good prybar....

He's not saying that. He's saying better gear = better enlargements. Which is kind of rather true, especially if they're crops. He's also saying better gear = more lowlight capability. Which is also kind of true in my experience. His reasoning, I think, is if you're calling yourself a pro then really you'd better have the tools to do the job - a complete toolset which is flexible enough to cope with unexpected issues.
Surely this isn't such an unreasonable thing to ask. I, for example, might get cranky, if I took my car for a service and all the guy had was a screwdriver - wouldn't you?
agree. He also commented on technique...He's not saying that. He's saying better gear = better enlargements. Which is kind of rather true, especially if they're crops.
