Usually Kodak puts out their Digi SLR with the Nikon mount, then Nikon will follow with their own version. Now with the new Nikkor 12-24 lens coming out, looks like no full frame Nikon body anytime soon. At least that keeps the cost down. The new Kodak 14n w/Nikon mount is $4795, with much less features than the D1x/D1h, and slower too. The D100 and Fuji S2 will benefit from the new lenses. There goes the "just get the 17-35/2.8". On a Leica note, I'm seeing more foreigners in New Orleans with these M7's. Keeping 'em coming so I can look at 'em.
