Adam's contributed on this already, but I have to say that one of the  
reasons I like the 645 so much is that it handles beautifully hand- 
held. Better than a lot of 35mm SLRs. It has a nice big grip and the  
mirror/shutter is very very smooth.

However, that said, I tend to use the 645 on a tripod most of the  
time anyway. I like that they put tripod mounts on both side and  
bottom ... I fitted mine with a pair of Really Right Stuff tripod  
adapters so I can go from portrait to landscape orientation in a second.
