I'll be in Perth or Melbourne for a few years, so a visit to NZ is on the cards some time in 2012. Either way, NZ is closer than the Netherlands.

Best regards

Well if you do get there Anvh and either I get the chance to visit NZ or you visit Perth, I may yet get to buy you that beer. Good luck with the move.

Best regards

Comments appreciated gentlemen.

I don't get to Durham often enough. Many things worth photographing there.

Strange looking mounting rail thing as well.
Hand cranked, toothed belt traverse mount. He started with ground level footage then moved to upper body footage.

A very hectic four days with a lot of different stuff going on. Got to speak to a lot of togs and look at some superb camera shops.

The 645D's sensor is not a crop sensor, it is a "medium format" sensor. Although it still technically has a "crop factor" (albeit of less than 1 because it's larger than 35mm film) this can more correctly be referred to as a "focal length multiplier" to avoid the confusion - or alternatively for anybody who doesn't know what a focal length multiplier is, make it worse.
A medium format sensor is 56 x 41.5mm, the Pentax sensor is 33x 44mm.

645 was the term used based on the 60 x 45mm nominal format.

Well rightly or not, Pentax referred to 645 as "Medium Format" and have chosen to refer to the 645D as "Medium Format Digital". In the absence of a better name, I'm guessing that's what everybody else will choose to call it too. In fact that's what they are calling it already in photography magazines, websites, blogs, down the pub over a pint and so forth. So the point you are making is shortly destined to become - if it hasn't already - purely technical pedantry.

You could argue of course that it is a "crop sensor" in relation to a full sized medium format sensor, and indeed be technically correct - but since almost everybody understands the term "crop sensor" to mean cropped in comparison to the size of 35mm film that would be pretty misleading, and in all honesty smacks of being deliberately abstruse.
So Pentax may be technically incorrect to use the term MF, a guess becomes a fact, you agree that technically it's a cropped sensor and I assume "almost everybody" excludes current FF DSLR users.
