[font color=\'#000000\']Kodak...............................dont do it.......let me save you the bother.
Hi,
I am writing to tell you that your review of the 14n was too kind, I bought one of those donkeys when it came out, wished I had read your review, thankfully I did read the review for the new super improved upgarde which means I will not be buying one.
I am in talks with Kodak at the moment as I complained about the 14n on the first week of arrival. The local dealer told me that this would be the only camera I would need as valuable upgrades would be made available. They will not or have not replied to date.
Actually there are more problems than just the camera, there is the cleaning issue, no service centre here, takes 2 months to get it cleaned.........wow.......I know
Well the camera is back...clean....and put on a back shelf to gather dust....perhaps it will become an antique of the biggest digital camera scam and then be worth something....as it is I cant even sell it unless the buyer knows exactly what they are getting into. I believe in Karma you see, I wish Kodak were the same as me, but at the moment it seems as if money were their only concern, shame really.
I would just like to point one more thing out, in your review you talked about the 14n and likened it to a car...shame on car companies because they recall cars that are faulty, Kodak on the other hand leaves all the rubbish out there, produces a better model and then expects us to pay to get the rubbish upgraded.
Upset, you bet, and I challenge any photographer out there to prove me wrong, and hats of to all those boys and girls out there that think that shooting on ISO 80 at nothing shorter than 1 sec is going to get them through.
As a friend said to me recently after testing the 14n ( photographer who has won the UK Phtographic Advertising awards 3 times )....he laughed and said he got a better result from his Nikon 1D.
Feel free to post any of this.
Best Regards and many Thanks for your work in educating us that do not have the time to do these tests
