The Pentax 645Z is a fully featured medium-format DSLR. Among its headline features are the 51.4-megapixel CMOS sensor, a top ISO of 204,800, articulating monitor and Full HD video capability. Shoot medium-format and you would expect great quality images. The Pentax’s 44x33mm CMOS sensor gives files measuring 8256x6192 pixels, which translates to prints measuring 27.5x20.6in at 300ppi without any interpolation. You get this top quality in a camera that is equally at home in the studio as on location and it’s supported by an impressive array of high-spec Pentax lenses. Handling is slick, AF responsive and accurate, the exposure system uses an 86,000 pixel RGB sensor and the battery has capacity for up to 650 shots. About thePentax645Z
