Now the picts on the WS are *all* daylight... Be cautious before taking a decision.
don't know what you're looking at but the images I saw weren't. How about the church interior long exposure shot under tungsten light? I've been a happy 14n shooter for almost a year. I realize its limitation and work well within them. Probably over ninety percent of my images from last year came out of a 14n. The new model and the sample files shown seem to remove many of those limitations. Contrary to popular opinion the 14n (current version) can make good captures in lower light levels. It just can't tolerate underexposure well. It can tolerate overexposure much better than most so it really takes a somewhat different mindset for using this camera versus something like a Nikon D1x. You need to expose for clean shadow detail and then either control lighting, correct in processing, or use multiple exposure techniques to insure the brightest highlights are also captured properly. This is pretty much just the opposite of accepted standard procedure with most other cameras.
My favorite features of the new version are... supposedly doing away with the need for firmware lens optimization; the saved settings groups; the "nose lock" to keep me from inadvertently pushing control buttons when my big shnoz i pressed against the back of the camera; and of course better high ISO, low light performance. The ability to upgrade current models is fantastic. Add in the fact that it will begin shipping almost immediately and I'd say Kodak learned well from the debacle that was the original 14n release.
