Re: BAD NEWS: Pentax +Samsung DSLRs

[P. J. Alling]

The DCS-14n was built out of Nikon body parts , the DCS-14c seemed to be 
built out of Sigma body parts with a EOS lens mount, the Camera 
electronics and functions followed the manufacture of the body parts 
style.  The Sensor and support electronics were farmed out to someone 
else entirely.

Surely that was one of the reasons why they discontinued those 
cameras? They were Nikons/Canons with a sensor produced by a forget 
who, but someone other than Kodak. Seems to me that continuing with 
such products (or actually, to introduce them in the first place) 
would make little or no sense for a sensor and (sometimes) camera 
producer like Kodak... It's a bit like if they had produced disposable 
cameras with a box and lens from Nikon, and stuck a Fuji film in them, 
if you know what I'm saying...
