Does Kodak produce their own consumer-level CCD (or CMOS) cameras?
AFAIUI, my older one was designed and manufactured for Kodak by a
Japanese company (Chinon).


I've got a camera which was produced by Kodak modifying a Nikon
N90s film camera body to accept a digital focal plane. It was made for
the AP (Associated Press), with the model number NC2000e-c, and was an
early megapixel camera which could use the lenses and accessories for
the Nikon camera line, thus preserving a major investment in optical
glass.

They've also produced similar conversions based on the Cannon
line of cameras.

Now -- both manufacturers are making their own digital cameras
with much higher resolution -- but Kodak is not sitting still, either.
They also make digital backs for the Hasselblad series of cameras with
even more pixels.

Enjoy,
DoN.
