Reviews of the Kodak DCS Pro 14n
-
CNET Review
The Good: Superb resolution; 35mm-size sensor obviates focal-length conversions; flexible RAW+JPEG capture mode; innovative ERI-JPEG file format; powerful software and user-installable firmware.
The Bad: Noisy high-ISO images; somewhat clumsy handling; protruding LCD interferes with viewfinder use; start-up and calibration delays impede action shooting.
The Bottom Line: This pro digital SLR can deliver eye-popping detail, but noisy high-ISO shots and performance hitches limit its flexibility.
