Canon's selling the 5D for about 40% less than the 1D. The Pentax probably uses the chassis of the 645n and the autofocus software and hardware from the *ist D/Ds which should cut down on development costs considerably. Why shouldn't they be competitive.

because there hasn't been and isn't likely to be a breakthrough in sensor price. the 22MP Mamiya ZD is expected to street for $12-13K. what makes Pentax so special that it can sell a 18MP for 40% less?
