Wow, just, Wow
I have been a landscape photographer for many years. I have used almost every system out there at one point or another, Olympus, Sony, Nikon, Fuji, you name it. There is always some give and take no system does everything it's a matter of picking what is right for you and working around a systems quirks. I toyed with the idea of going medium format for a long time. Pricing digital backs and weighing all the options. I finally wound up with the 64... Show More

What the?! This thing is exceptional!
I use this mainly for portraits but I have plans to use it in very specific, controlled sports photography as well. I have used it for the former but not yet for the latter. The files are delicious! 60+ MB per RAW file. The resolution, tonality, and dynamic range are spectacular. You would not believe the detail you can pull out of underexposed areas and I'm talking on the order of 4+ stops! This is my first non-film medium format camera and bein... Show More

No buyer's remorse
I am a portrait photographer that occasionaly does commercial work. I print large prints. A lot of large prints. I took a leap of faith when I pre-ordered the camera as I had never used a Pentax. I could not be happier. The files are amazing. The camera is snappy and really easy to use. I came from a Phase One body... I don't regret the switch, The body is solid and lenses are stellar (90 mm 2.8 and 55 2.8 presently).

Fantastic in EVERY aspect!!
I used to be a sad person, now I just can't be happier - joking. Man this camera is THAT good, in every way. By far the best hi-ISO in medium-format; Very good ergonomy; HUGE dynamic-range. Last, but definetely not least, it has the perfect price! You can pay 10k more but you ain't get more. I use digital medium format since 2010 no product has impressed me as much as 645Z! All reviews just can't express it properly, you better try it by yourself!

If your serious about photography...
This is nothing short of AMAZING! Jaw dropping, emotional even. The files you can produce are beyond anything you can imagine...my primary rig before getting my Pentax 645z was the Nikon D-800 so resolution was no stranger to me, but the tactile and true to life photos you can achieve are without equal. I honesty cannot say enough about this revolutionary camera. Your clients will not ever be able to look at another photo the same, trust me! They'll never go to anyone else again.

Wonderful camera.
I have used this camera for landscape and horse portraits (with many horses you have to stand at a distance when photographing them). I've wanted to get a digital medium format camera for a long time. Mostly because I want Hi Res photos that can be printed at a large size. My Canon EOS1D Mk4 does a great job on my horse photography but after cropping the images become too small to print at 30x40, for instance. I have not had a chance to print any... Show More

Excellent camera
I have had this camera out on three different occasions only having purchased it a couple of weeks ago. I am primarily a landscape and nature photographer and shoot everything from a tripod. I previously owned the Pentax 645D, so getting comfortable with this camera was relatively easy. I love the usability at higher ISOs. Usually I never shoot above 800 ISO with the many cameras I have owned, but this camera opens up new possibilities. The highe... Show More

Great Camera
I purchased this camera to use along side my DSLR for times when I can slow down and shoot with the purpose I want. I'm mainly using this camera on a tripod but with good technique I think you can find great results hand holding this camera as well. That being said even tiny movement and that 51MP won't hold the resolution and you could have been using something more forgiving. The low light properties of this camera are amazing and far and away top my previous Canon. I've shot at 51k ISO and made wonderful prints, truly amazing.
