KODAK - Digital SLR Cameras

Kodak DCS-14n

The highest resolution digital SLR (35mm SLR format) camera presently available. At fourteen million pixels, 4,536 x 3,024 pixels, the Kodak DCS-14n is presently the leader of the digital SLR camera resolution race.

Canon comes close with their 11 million pixel Canon EOS1Ds, but the Canon EOS1Ds sells for US$8,000, while the Kodak DCS-14n is available for a much more affordable US$5,000. (Local prices may vary)

I used this camera for a few weeks earlier in 2003 but it still had significant problems at that time, which have apparently been ironed out with recent firmware updates.

Being able to use Nikon lenses at their true focal lengths is a real luxury at this time and needs to be experienced to be appreciated.

Kodak Medium Format Pro Digital Back

If you want the best 'one-shot' resolution possible with a portable camera (that means battery, not mains powered), the most practical solution at this time is the Kodak Medium Format back with one of the supported medium format SLR cameras. Manufacturers include Hasselblad, Mamiya and Bronica.

A review will hopefully come soon. The Kodak people are being stingy with their equipment at the moment and I don't feel like listening to a two hour sales pitch just so I can get fifteen minutes 'on-hand' with the equipment in a conference room.
