Pentax 645Z

<p>I received my Pentax 645Z yesterday, found a used one from Adorama - Like new condition, less than 10,000 shutter count. It's amazing, images are as expected, the images straight off the card show colors and saturation almost exactly like what I saw when I took the pics. Lots of very impressive features, here's a few of my favorites:<br>

- most functions I care to change during a shoot can be accessed via the buttons without digging into the menus<br>

- I can turn on/off bracketing in a single button and set the # of shots and exposure step <br>

- 2 SD card slots, I can set the cam to push a RAW image to card 1 and a JPG to card 2 for each image (one of several settings how to use the cards)<br>

- can easily change the iso / white balance or set it to auto via a single button, it's also very easy to change shooting modes (i,e, self timer)<br>

- a single button sets all changed settings via the buttons back to what they were set to in the menu's<br>

- it is heavy but it's quite well balanced and has a good feel</p>

<p>Congratulations! I see I posted above I would never get one because it's too big but since then I have bought a 645D which is the same size. I love my D for the right shot but I still try not to carry it very far!<br>

I would have loved a Z but it was out outside my budget. Maybe I'll get one after it's replacement is released! :)</p>
