Yeah gotta have deep pockets for this one.
Even the DFA 645 55mm F2.8 AL [IF] SDM AW lens that comes with it costs around S$1,500.
Looks like ring type SDM motor is now used. :thumbsup:

I'm really interested but will hold off until they make a UWA for it.

i thought i saw this some time back already... been up for some time liao...
anyway to be honest, i was wondering if they post something better than just snap shots... showcase MP resolutions ?

I start saving up $300/mth now till 2yrs time. See if I ever make it by then ;p

You can make.
By then, the price may drop.
The K20D body back in March 2008 was S$2.5K:bigeyes:

well... a quick way is to sell 1 item every month... if u can live without the item u sell for 1 month, that means you dun need it for the next 12 months... sell sell sell... :devil:

:dunno: I downloaded the first pic (building scene, JPG version) and was blown away with the details, especially when zoomed to max. Feels like you actually there :bigeyes:

i know lots of detail :bsmilie:... isn't that to be expected for a MF...

but i thought can show nicer pics rather than random snap shots... maybe can pass to me, i go shoot some xmm, see how much details can extract from the pores...:bsmilie:

Oh I see. Silly me for not thinking what you are thinking I want to see some XMM photos too :bsmilie:

With the release date this Friday, I am sure we will see some exquisite photos real soon.

Was at Bic Camera at Tokyo yesterday queuing up to pay for my $30 shutter release when I saw this guy in front of me purchasing a 645D including lens and many other items (including a filter) - looks like a complete set. Price? The register displayed 848,000 yen (including VAT).
That's about S$13,000.

Wow...

Wonder what's included other than the body, the price looks like a great bargain if at least the 55/2.8 lens is included.

Yes, the lens is definitely included as I saw the box. However, the packaging box for the 645D is not very attractive - just plain white with the words "645D" on it. But then, who buys the camera for the box, right?

I wonder if my company will pay for this? Heh...

 

[Fotophilic]

this camera is interesting... :think:
