Pentax today detailed specs for their soon to be released 645D, a DSLR with a Kodak manufactured 40MP lens. The unit uses a SAFOX IX+ autofocus system with 11 sensor points, a semi-rugged body and 70 seals to prevent damage by dust, water and low temperatures.
The camera also features the Pentax Real Image Engine, Dust Removal II system and a glass prism viewfinder. Users can also load two separate card slots that support SD and SDHC cards.
If you want a top notch lens, Pentax will also be offering their D-FA 645 55mm F2.8 AL lens to complement the cameras body. The design will also feature a rounded diapghragm.
The initial release date for Japan is May with a cost of ¥850,000 ($9,500 USD) for the body and ¥100,000 ($1,100) for the lens.
No word on a U.S. release date at this time. [Electronista]

This is certainly a very neat piece of metal. I would like to get one as well. I guess more things are going to become Kodak moments, since Kodak is producing the Kodak Theater HD player – which is probably going to be the primary competition for Google TV, if Google TV ever materializes, and it goes for less than most payday advances. The set top box has some difficulties with internet feeds beyond Flickr, and doesn’t appear to handle video feeds too well, but then again, this is fairly new technology. I think I’ll wait for a while before I purchase something along those lines.
