Product Overview

Pentax 645Z is a flagship camera in the PENTAX 645A system. Introduced in 2014, it comes with a 645 medium format sensor with 51 MP (8256 x 6192) resolution.

The camera has a good battery life, though it is nothing to write home about. The Pentax 645Z's 3.0 fps burst rate limits its use for certain types of photography, but it is hardly something that most photographers should worry about. The large sensor size and the unique medium-format look are enough reasons to make it an interesting option.

The Pentax 645Z comes with 27 autofocus points.
