Basically looking for a good portrait camera, medium format, for taking pics out and about with the most ease. Oh ye, and that isn't at Fujifilm GA645Zi, because I cant find one of them for a price that doesn't make me cry
Medium format SLRs are really not ideal for shooting portrait-oriented.
So if this is what the camera will be used for predominantly I'd get something more suited - and a GA645 indeed is (I'd prefer the regular version).
You can get them for €500 in nice condition - which is, frankly, not a lot of money for a proper medium format camera with a great lens.
Of course you can go cheaper / "less great", but then maybe it'd be just smarter to just get a nice portrait lens for whatever 35mm camera you have.

@luke572 I'd probably second going the 35mm route if you want to do quick portraits and something like the GA645 is out of your price range. You can pick up an auto-focus 35mm SLR with a portrait lens for peanuts in comparison.
What do you want to with your photos ? If shooting with a fine grain portrait film like Portra or Fuji Pro etc you're probably not going to notice a difference between 35mm and 120 unless your printing at A2 or larger size.

Thanks for the input man, that's really helpful!
I think your right, I might just save up, sell my Yashica T4, and hold out for a GA645 because that is what would be most suited to what I'm looking for.
Thanks
