On the Kodak Web site they also have a full frame '11MP' chip: http://www.kodak.com/US/plugins/acrobat/en/digital/ccd/kai11000.pdf
>From DPReview: "35mm format, 10.8MP. It is "designed for professional digital still camera applications", according to the sheet. Could this be the sensor in the next Kodak DCS camera? It would offer full-frame coverage and, because it's an interline-transfer sensor, fast shutter speeds. Apparently not an impressive frame rate, though; they talk of 1-3 fps." I did wonder if this was the sensor for the 1Ds, but that is apparently a CMOS, so this must be going elsewhere...
