Pentax 645Z will bring the words medium format and affordable closer together

An official announcement from Pentax detailing their new 645Z is expected later today. However, the cat is mostly out of the bag after some pretty exciting specs were leaked across various photog websites over the weekend. The pre-release leaks have left fans being able to guess the likely content of Pentax’s announcement and the camera’s capabilities.

Sporting the MF CMOS  sensor, by Sony, Pentax has created a camera capable of both medium format and 4K video, but the BIG joy this camera brings to cash-strapped photographers everywhere is that the 645Z seems set to slip into the market well below the price of rivals.
