(Still in the dark) Pentax 645D 40 megapixel medium format digital camera

With just a few days until the camera is revealed there has been a steady trickle of information released by email and on a special “new” section of the Pentax Japan website. For those who can’t read Japanese, as summary of the information so far is:

News Vol. 1 Sensor 1.7 times the size of full frame 35mm

News Vol. 2  Eight custom image functions

News Vol. 3  Dual SD/SDHC memory card slots.

News Vol. 4  40 megapixel sensor

News Vol. 5  44 x 33mm sensor

All very interesting. The rest of the details should be released on the 11th at the CP+ Camera & Photo Imaging Show in Yokohama.

(As a guess I expect the sensor to be the KODAK KAF-40000 )
