For those that are interested in the newest full frame digital SLR for Canon mount lenses, check out Phil Askey's extensive review and samples. From the review conclusion:
"Get it right, shoot RAW, good light, low to medium ISO's and be careful about the development of your RAW images and you really can get some mind-blowing good resolution with rewarding image quality attributes (good dynamic range, good color). That's just where the SLR/c fits in, it's certainly not a camera for everyone, it's not a point and shoot digital SLR, it's a camera for enthusiasts who are ready to work around its quirks and utilize it as a photographic tool."

Well, this review piqued my interest.
I spent a fair while this morning checking out the Kodak forum at robgalbraith.com. There does seem to be some happy users out there, but I'd still be a bit hesitant to use this as an outdoors camera. It'd probably be OK for landscape, it would suck for wildlife and as for underwater...we'll see. The body's a bit different to the SLR/n I think. If it doesn't fit in the SLR/n housing I think you'll have a hard time finding a housing for it as it's likely to have a pretty small market share.
I think I'll wait for the 1Ds Mk2 which appears to be not to far off.
