Very unlikely to be Kodak. I don't think Kodak even realizes what it needs and they've dropped the ball on Digital so many times it's not funny. If Kodak was to decide on a partner for DSLR's they'd probably either go for 4/3rds (they remain a member of the 4/3rds consortium) or do something stupid like buy the Contax N mount. -- M.
