Kodak DCS Pro 14nMaker Eastman Kodak Type Digital SLR Image sensor type CMOS Image sensor size 24mm x 36mm Recording medium CompactFlash Type I/II, SD/MMC Maximum resolution 13.89 million pixels Lens mount Nikon F mount Frame rate 1.7 frame/s ASA/ISO range ISO 80-400 The Kodak Professional DCS Pro 14n is a professional Nikon F80 based F-mount digital SLR produced by Eastman Kodak. It was announced at the photographic trade show Photokina in Germany during September 2002; production examples became available in May 2003.
Featuring a 13.89 Megapixel (4560 x 3048 pixels total) full frame 24 x 36 mm CMOS sensor, the DCS Pro 14n was the second full-frame digital SLR, after the unsuccessful and short lived Contax N Digital. All previous digital SLRs had sensors smaller than a film frame and thus had a crop factor larger than 1.0, making a wide-angle field of view difficult to achieve.
In September 2003 Kodak announced the availability of a memory upgrade from 256 MiB to 512 MiB to DCS Pro 14n owners.[1]. The 512 MiB version of the camera is often inofficially referred to as Kodak Professional DCS Pro 14n 512. A monochrome variant, known inofficially as Kodak Professional DCS Pro 14n m and based on the same CMOS image sensor, existed as well.
The DCS Pro 14n was replaced by the Kodak Professional DCS Pro SLR/n, released in 2004, which was a similar, but improved model. In particular, the new camera featured an improved image sensor and better power management, and it came with 512 MiB of buffer memory pre-installed. At around 1800 USD existing owners of the DCS 14n could order another camera upgrade from Kodak, comprising the new image sensor and memory upgrade. These upgraded cameras were officially referred to as Kodak Professional DCS Pro 14nx by Kodak. Except for the power management and name plate, they were basically the same as the DSC Pro SLR/n.
