Instant $1000 Discount on Kodak DSC Pro 14n
Kodak have just announced that they are offering a $1,000 instant discount when you purchase the Kodak Professional DCS Pro 14n Digital Camera before 31st March 2004. You just need to print out and fill in the form that you download from the Kodak website (link below) and hand it over to one of Kodak’s authorised dealers. At the moment this offer seems to be restricted to the USA, but if anyone has heard of a similar discount in their part of the world, let me know.
So does this sudden substantial drop in price indicate that a brand new Kodak digital SLR camera will be unveiled at PMA?

Hello Mark,
I think there may be more than a consolidation of Kodak's Digital Pro line: I just heard a radio report that Kodak will layoff 20% (15,000 if I heard correctly) of their work-force.
As an American that has been critical of Kodak's original press release of the 14n, once measuring its claims against the camera's actual limitations, may I suggest that what we are seeing in the current Kodak announcements is Kodak's retreat from the competitive market place of innovation.
This does not ring well for the U.S in the long run.

Hmmmm... doesn't sound good. I'll try to find out more about the job losses...

To me, Kodak has lost the plot. Canon, Nikon, Fuji, sigma, Sony currently rule the digital market. Kodak has a lot of catching up to do, probably too much.

You can almost bet your boots that Kodak will be coming out with a refined version of the DSC Pro 14n. It is a camera that has been beset with a lot of problems. It certainly doesn't have the professional pedigree of the DSC-760. I have the DCS-760, which I think is far superior to the Pro 14n, and intend to continue using it.

In the latest issue of Amateur Photographer magazine, they have re-reviewed the Kodak DSC Pro 14n because it is now on it's 7th software version and is essentially a very different camera to the one that they first reviewed.
