Love the comparison. CCD sensor cameras have beautiful color. That big sensor just makes it even better. I shoot a Pentax 645Z, a much improved camera, but sometimes I crave a 645D. Might make it happen someday.
Thanks for the history lessons,

Fine comparison. Borrowed the A100 from work. Was surprised at the noise in the photos. At the time my camera was the Pentax ist* DS. It's lowest ISO was 200. The Sony grain was much more prominent and un-film like. Many hated Sony menus, but I found them fairly easy.
Thanks for sharing,

Thank you very much for your feedback, it is appreciated. 👍🏼
To mark the 15th anniversary of one of the first affordable digital MF, the fabulous Pentax 645D (2010-2025)
Pentax 645D (2010) by Marc Aubry, sur Flickr
I am the proud owner of a beautiful Pentax 645D
The main reason for the interest in this MF is its 40MP Kodak CCD sensor, which I particularly like.
In 2010, 40 MP was particularly impressive! Today, it has almost become the norm, or at least the average.
I wanted to compare this famous 645D with several cameras in my collection, here are the results.
I hope one of them will interest you.

I looked at the Pentax vs X-T5. The quality of the X-T5 is, to me, better. But it will depend on the lens and the JPG interpretation that each camera has (here I am, stating the obvious).
So, how do you compare cameras and not photo sub-systems?
