Kodak Announces New DCS 660 Professional Camera

Professional photographers have been impatiently awaiting the digital version of the Nikon F5 and Kodak has finally delivered it in the form of the new Kodak Professional DCS 660. A six megapixel CCD imager that delivers 3040 x 2008 pixel resolution in 12 bits per pixel depth for instantaneous capture of the RGB matrix. Built around the lightweight and highly durable Nikon F5 frame with the ability to capture 1 frame per second for 3 frames. The full-frame viewfinder shows you exactly what the CCD sensor sees. You get true wide-angle performance with your wide angle lenses, and an effective focal length 1.3 times the nominal focal length shown on the lens. And, with the advanced anti-aliasing technology in the DCS 660, moiré problems are virtually eliminated.
