The Camera That Attained The Title Of “The Ultimate”.
The Flagship Camera That Ushers In The Next Generation Has Given Rise To A New Legend

The PENTAX 645Z is the medium-format camera that leads the pack in imaging performance. Amongst the spirit of the digital age, the PENTAX 645D made its presence felt intensely as a medium-format digital camera with an integrated image sensor, astounding resolution, and dynamic resolving power. But the advancements didn’t stop there. The PENTAX 645Z , equipped with a new CMOS image sensor with approximately 51.4 million pixels, puts the power of ultra high definition images in your hand. In addition to the new tilt-able LCD monitor and Live View function, significantly improved responsiveness including AF, image processing and high-speed Instant Review are added. Portability and agility have been polished and image quality that can only be called ‘hyper realistic’ has been unquestionably achieved.
