Bill, The K10D may give you 500 more pixels. The 645D is another matter. :-)
I'm not saying that this will be the layout of the chip, but consider the longest side on *istD sensor: 3000 pixels. Divide 18 millions with 3000, and you get approx. 5140. Still can't compete with T/S movements in large format, of course, but still has a lot to offer over the K-mount alternatives. Or EF-mount alternatives, for that matter. On a completely different track, I think that a outdoor-friendly MedF-D will actually compete with stitching software when it comes to landscapes.
