I’m not sure how many PMA’s you can show a camera at before releasing it, but Pentax seems to be trying for a record. They are going to be showing the 645D again this year, but again with no release dates. I understand the desire to make sure all the bugs are worked out, but this seems to be dragging on forever. I think the market is ripe for a low cost medium format system, much the same way the Canon digital Rebel revolutionized the digital SLR segment.

This isn’t so much a rumor as a wish, but I’m hoping Pentax will give us some more information on the previously announced 645d. I’m curious about the upgradeable sensor, will this be a user replaceable part? I’m also not sure what the recent merger with Hoya means for the 645d, hopefully it hasn’t been scrapped.
