    Majority of MF Digital backs are 16bit - i guess something had to give for them to price it under 10K

    It's interesting because it's the same sensor which other people store 16bit info from.

    Now given that Pentax on paper are saying they've got more ISO range, I wonder if they are doing processing to reduce the image down a bit.

    However, the main thing is, it's half the price of the competition. But also that bitage isn't really everything, considering most people are fine in an 8bit per RGB channel space.

    All I can think is where does this leave used prices of the 645D?

    Looking interesting...

    Sweet, I'd like one of those. Hell, I'd be happy with any MF camera, even film
