Unfortunately by then everybody who was in the target market had heard from somebody who paid $14,000 for the first, incredibly sucky, one.

I had the opportunity to use a Nikon body fitted out with a prototype digital backplane made by Kodak in 1997 or so when I was at the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing. It was owned by Kodak and had serial number "001". We were evaluating it for use in an aerial photography application, but I also recall it took very nice pictures of the tulips at Dow's Lake. I seem to recall it also had the ability to record short sound bites. Kodak wanted some hideous amount of money for a deposit for the equipment. That’s rather ironic.
