TheKodak Professional DCS Pro SLR/n is a 13.5megapixel (4500x3000 pixels)full-frame 35mmdigital SLR produced as a collaboration betweenNikon Corporation andEastman Kodak. It was an improved version of theKodak Professional DCS Pro 14n series, and was based on a modifiedNikon N80 film SLR and thus compatible with almost allNikon F mount lenses. The camera was announced in early 2004 and became available to purchase mid-year. A monochrome variant namedKodak Professional DCS Pro SLR/n m of the camera existed as well.
The camera has noanti-aliasing filter in front of theCMOS sensor, which gives it very high edge acuity, but gives it a greater chance of producing moremoire artifacts than most cameras. This can be partially compensated for with the software, which has advancednoise reduction capabilities. It also has impressively highdynamic range (the ability to capture both light and dark subjects well in the same image). It has less of a useful range of ISO sensitivity than many modern digitalSLR cameras, although the selectable range is very large.
The camera is very unusual for a DSLR in having a long exposure setting where film speeds down to 6 ASA and exposure settings up to 60 seconds can be selected. This would have been useful for Product Photography.
The cousin of this camera, theKodak Professional DCS Pro SLR/c, announced a month later, shared the same full35 mm (36x24 mm) frame sizedCMOSimage sensor, electronics, and most controls, but was based on the top of theSigma Corporation's SLR cameras (such as theSD9) and a custom body, and was compatible withCanon Inc.'sEOS lenses.
Both cameras were discontinued on May 31, 2005[1]
