Overview Camera Pentax 645Z

Pentax 645Z - very not a despicable camera, but only if its value compared to the prices of small-format camera. Recall small format - this is what we used to take a very close call and politely full frame. 8500 dollars for a camera inexperienced user can plunge into shock. But this medium format - a different association. The competitors Pentax 645Z lot, but they are much more expensive.

For example, for apparently similar Leica S2 based on CCD sensor asking 23,000 USD, Hasselblad H5D-50c pulls at 27 500, heel IQ250 starts with a mark of 35 000 dollars.
It would seem that such a huge difference in cost is enough to feel at ease in the luxury segment. But Pentax is trying to win its buyer not only the price, so the 645Z has a lot more up his sleeve trumps. Of course, most of these features for a small format - the norm, but for medium-format cameras are unusual.

We mention only some of them: full mode Live View, angled display, video recording ability, availability HDMI-port, built-in microphone, the ability to connect an external microphone, tempered glass protection screen, 27 focus points (whereas the major competitors 1 or 3) rate of 3 frames per second, minimum shutter speed of 1/4000 second, the presence of optics with built-in stabilization and two memory slots. In the lead to everything - housing that is protected from moisture / splashes and dust, which no competitor can not provide. Immediately it should be noted that the manufacturer has Pentax 645Z not only as a studio camera, but as a camera for shooting landscapes, festivals (staged wedding photos) and even some scenes reportage. In general, the device is very generic, not greenhouses.
