Key Advantages

The Pentax 645Z offers outstanding image quality with its high-resolution medium format sensor. Its weather-sealed construction makes it reliable for outdoor and harsh conditions. The camera’s autofocus system is quick and accurate, suited for various shooting scenarios. The vari-angle LCD enhances usability when shooting at challenging angles. Dual card slots provide flexibility for photographers needing extensive storage. Its compatibility with existing Pentax medium format lenses allows users to leverage their current equipment investments.

Limitations

Despite its impressive features, the Pentax 645Z has a relatively slow continuous shooting speed compared to some digital SLRs. The bulk and weight of the medium format body can be cumbersome for extended handheld use. Video capabilities are limited to Full HD rather than 4K resolution. Autofocus coverage is somewhat limited with only 27 points. The camera’s buffer capacity can fill quickly when shooting RAW continuously. Lastly, the price point is high, reflecting its professional and medium format status.
