Originally posted by Blue I remember Pentax working with Kodak on several prototypes 10 years ago including the early 645D the MZ-D etc. Its possible they worked with more than one given it was a prototype development project.
AFAICR, the Kodak cooperation was only for the 645D, which indeed finally reached market with a
Kodak KAF-40000 CCD sensor.
The MZ-D prototype was based around the Philips chip mentioned previously, and I never heard mention of Kodak in relation to it. (In fact, when Kodak released their own full-frame DSLRs a couple of years later, *they* weren't based around Kodak chips either, but rather ones supplied by FillFactory.)
If I'm wrong in that recollection, I'd love to hear about it, though.
