Pentax busts out Hasselbladian 31.6 megapixel 645 Digital

Pentax has apparently tapped Kodak to provide its 31.6 megapixel KAF-31600 medium format CCD for the upcoming 645 Digital, which would seem to be the company’s highest resolution digital camera to date. So far all that’s known from the pre-PMA announcement is that the 645 will sport both SD and CF slots, and will ship with a specially-built 55mm lens that’s also compatible with 645-series SLR film cameras. We should find out more about this behemoth in early March — although possibly not pricing and release info — but one thing we can say for sure is that if it’s priced anything like the Hasselblad H3D-31 whose sensor it shares, expect to pay out well into five figures.
