Photokina – The just announced PENTAX 645D lens-interchangeable medium-format digital SLR camera will be launched in Canada at select PENTAX dealers in early November.
With its large image sensor, the high-performance 645D delivers super-high-resolution images with approximately 40 effective megapixels. It also offers outstanding dependability and superb operability and maneuverability to make outdoor shooting effortless and comfortable for demanding photographers.
The large image sensor (measuring 44mm by 33mm), something previously available only on professional models, is a boon to serious landscape and outdoor photographers.
The lightweight but solidly built body features a magnesium-steel-alloy frame, reinforced glass LCD panel protectors and a reliable dustproof, weather-resistant construction. The camera features a multi-mode exposure system that switches from Programmed AE to Shutter- or Aperture Priority at the turn of a dial. There’s also an easy to view 3.0 inch LCD monitor featuring 921,000 dots resolution.
It is designed to be compatible with the majority of the existing PENTAX 645 system, so that current PENTAX 645-series camera users can use existing accessories and high performance smc PENTAX 645 interchangeable lenses.
Suggested retail price is $1,250. The smc PENTAX-D FA 645 55mm F2.8 AL [IF] SDM AW lens will also be available.
