At least it "might" be better than Kodak's 14n digital SLR. Canon's 1Ds is hard to beat. Kodak's 14n is one peice of....... $4,900 for a Nikon N80 digital full-frame body. Plastic! The fun thing is trying not to press any buttons on the back of the camera with your nose while your shooting. I believe Kodak is up to #6 in firmware upgrades in 4 months.
