DPreview.com Reviews the Kodak ProSLRc

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."
