22 MPix digital MF under 10000$

[Tom C]

I didn't take the time to do any research, so obviously not exactly the same 
chip could be used.  However it would seem that the basic pieces are there, 
even assuming a smaller chip, to turn out a high end body with higher 
resolution and possibly lower noise.

In any case, a high-end 35mm form factor body at high yet relatively 
affordable prices would likely have a bigger market than the 645D ever 
would.
