Actually, the camera is said to be a Kodak designed hybrid, built using
Nikon parts. But the claim is it is not, like the earlier cameras,
simply a digital redo of one of the already existing film cameras.

Maye that's why Kodak has said the camera will be ready in Jan. instead
of Dec. Plus the pros out testing this camera are gonna beat the hell
out of it.

The camera is designed from the N80 body(like the D100), that's where
the "cheap" feel may come in.

 ISO only up to 800? The D100 goes to 1600+2 stops over
