I pretty much agree though I'm sure a lot of Canon DSLR have replaced MF gear
in studios too. My negativity stems from the likely assumption that few working
pros still use or would adopt a digital P645 kit over a top end Canon or back
for their old MF kit. Of all the studios I've visited and portrait sessions
I've attended I can't remember once seeing P645 as the camera of choice. P67
were a far more popular camera here, though Hasseys, Bronicas and Mamiyas made
up the vast bulk of MF bodies.
Over here, the P645 system has a small but devoted following of nature photographers. I don't think Norwegian photographers are the only ones to think that way. Wherever the 645nII has been reviewed, it stood out as the outdoor MedF tool of choice. With a bit of careful thinking, Pentax could retain that position with a D645.
