A fully featured medium-format DSLR, the 645Z counts a 51.4-megapixel CMOS sensor, a top ISO of 204,800, articulating monitor and Full HD video capability among its headline features. Shoot medium-format and you expect great quality images and the Pentax’s 44x33mm dimensions give files of 8256x6192 pixels, which translates to 27.5x20.6in prints without interpolation. And you get this top quality in a camera that is equally at home on location and in the studio. Handling is slick, AF responsive and accurate. The exposure system uses a 86,000 pixel RGB sensor and the battery is capable of up to 650 shots. About thePentax645Z
