The new Pentax 645D is one of the most exciting cameras to come along this year. This 40 Megapixel medium format camera functions like a current 35mm SLR, and is much less expensive than comparable high end cameras.

The Camera Store's Chris Niccolls and a small crew decided to test Pentax's claims of a rugged, weather-sealed body delivering professional image quality. Check out the video to learn our impressions!

  • Awesome! LADA cap!!! Hopefully you don't drive a Lada Niva out there in Canada! I know how horrible that experience is.

  • @according206 Chris and I usually drive to shoots in the Lada, even during winter. It's the most terrifying part of my job.

  • Blown away by the camera. Also blown away by the quality of the video.. what did you use to film this video with. Good job - Subscribed

  • @qantasman777 This was shot on the JVC HM100. The HMC150 just shipped. Awesome camera for the price and size.

  • Criss, youv'e done an awesome review on the Pentax and it's an amazing camera. How well will it work with the pocketwizard Mini TT1 and FlexTT5 ? Would be nice to hear.

  • @guspo1 Unfortunately, there isn't a Pentax version of the Pocketwizard TT transmitters. You could use them as a sync transmitter but no TTL. Just grab the regular PocketWizard Plus II Transcievers for the 645D.

  • На кепке надпись "LADA"!!! Видимо в нашей России - Матушке был=)

  • I was at a Pentax press event last year and they had these to play with. I wish I tried it for a much longer time or did a video now that I think about it.

  • @miniteichman thanks for the info i did not know that. just like NBC says " THE MORE YOU KNOW" lol

  • @TheFelixsoto No medium format camera will shoot video

  • Great review guys as always but i have one question does the camera do video or not? Just because it would look like it would be great for video.
