First of all it's still the point that for a terrible picture the fault lies to 99% with the person behind it. Second, I don't see any reason for CCDs anymore. Just look at good photography from the d3x...
And yet.. when it comes to color - CCD beats CMOS in my eyes at least. Just like it does with lower ISO. I have shot with D3x many times. Not impressed at all with it. Like D700 better
And then i liked E-1 even better just like i do like CCD based MF.
Also quality control on CCD production is much much higher simply due technology used.
Sure - bayer sucks and you effectively have 1/3rd of colour pixels.. but hey. CMOS just as bad. And i had shot same glass with CCD and CMOS. So why my hands might be absolutely pear shaped - its same hands with same glass. And colour rendition on CCD was winner every time.
And while Foveon got some potential - its hard to judge it due lack of any decent lenses to uncover its potential. So i am passing on that too. And you don't want to know what i think of Fuji, while its got wider DR...
Then again - to each his own
So, while its sad that they filing for protection, i hope Kodak and their stuff will stick around. I like their papers and chemicals and some of films, which i use.
Plus my first portable digital camera was actually Kodak. Not that it forced me to switch from film back in days of 98, but it did make me think.
