Dear all,
A brief note regarding the Kodak ProSLRn.
I have been using the DCS14n for a year now and have recently tested the
ProSLRn.
During the past year I have been in constant contact with Martin Woods at
Kodak regarding the various 'issues' that have presented themselves during
everyday use of the camera.  It became clear to me that, being a new and
relatively untested piece of technology, there were problems many of which
Kodak were unaware of and initially would reject until other users came
forward with similar problems.  There were many 'real world' complications
with the chip that clearly hadn't been obvious to Kodak during their R&D
period.
Digital is a young technology and manufacturers are still learning and
developing, as are we.
To their credit they have listened and constantly worked to improve the
product and the new camera is a great move forward.  During my testing of
the new camera I have found that the colour shift problem with wide-angle
lenses is still present, albeit in a slightly different form, but Kodak are
aware of this and are working on new firmware which should sort this out.
Kodak are now very attentive to the findings of professional photographers
and I would suggest that anyone who is experiencing anything unusual in
their images (no jokes please :o) should first eliminate any 'operator
error' (since Kodak will assume this) and then contact Kodak with their
findings, ideally enclosing sample files.
The more information Kodak get from us, the quicker we will get the camera
we want.
The original camera was capable of truly great things, but with reservations
and only under favourable circumstances.  It was both a revelation and a
frustration.  The new camera, when the wide-angle colour problem is fixed,
should be the standard by which all others will be judged.
I hope to re-test with the new firmware and will post all my results for
those who are interested.
HTH
cheers,
Mark.
