The on-again (http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/08/pentaxs-645-digital-is-real-too-good-for-us/), off-again (http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/08/pentax-canceling-the-645-digital-to-focus-on-k-series-dslrs/) saga of Pentax's monstrous 30 megapixel 645 Digital might have a happy ending after all. The Japanese company has put together a little teaser site for a forthcoming shooter, and the silhouette above carries the unmistakeable shape of a digital SLR, though conclusions about what particular camera it may be are still hard to reach. We can look at Canon's recent unveiling of the T2i (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/08/canons-new-rebel-t2i-shoots-18-megapixel-still-ups-the-video-o/) as a sign that the prosumer DSLR segment is ripe for a refresh and prognosticate a new K-series (http://www.engadget.com/tag/pentaxk-x) shooter, but that would be nowhere near as exciting as getting a spectacularly chunky and expensive camera to add to our wishlists. To support 645D theorists, we can point you to Pentax's earlier assertion (http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/24/pentaxs-30-megapixel-645-digital-on-track-for-2010-release/) that the shooter is coming in 2010, which goes nicely with the new promises of "a large ultra-high resolution image sensor, a new world."
