I'm looking forward to seeing what it can do!

Apparently not!

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.

But there will probably still be a lot of jello effect, with that big sensor?

Arrived today, in spotless condition with immaculate box and all the paperwork and packaging intact. It's just like a brand new lens. Thanks a lot!

I guess by it's nature (large size, Sony Exmor design) it's bound to perform well at high ISO. So why not enable high ISO exposures? They are trying to tempt users away from FF cameras after all. And those usually have ultra-high upper ISO limits.

But by the same token, why did they not bother to enable longer exposure times (without needing an external timer/shutter release cable). Perhaps there's some technical reason.

Precisely John. I would probably rather have bought a k5iis but a k30 was more suitable for my budget. (And virtually as well specified as well, you'd certainly not spot any difference in quality).

Looks like a winner.

The mono looks good to me Nigel. Of the two alternative crops you posted, I like how the second includes the curved balustrade. I would either recrop to include it or clone out the people.

I think your restricted focal length has forced you to come up with images which are a little different than the usual shots from here.
