Why is nobody using this body?

Kodak DCS Pro

http://www.dpreview.co​m/reviews/kodakslrc/

It seems like a great body... full frame, Canon mount, lots of megapickles, and all still at a good price. The burst rate is obviously slow, but given the other available features, that could be a moot point if you are not a sports photog.

I haven't ever seen or heard about anybody using one of these... is there a reason for it? Do they suck in some way that I do not know about?

I am intrigued, please enlighten me

Looking at it, this is probably a camera meant more for the studio than for active shooting on-the-go. Such cameras are in turn probably used by professionals who either don't have the time to get on the forums or perhaps don't talk much about the camera but are more interested in lighting.

Just a guess.

Well, they were pretty popular before the 1DsII came out. After the 1Ds came out, it fell out of use pretty quickly, as people who could afford the DCS could also afford a 1DsII, so why not go for a 1 series Canon with better noise control and such? I've seen the Kodak in use before. It's a good camera, but it just doesn't hold up in image quality to the 1Ds or 5D.

The "cons" section seemed pretty daunting:

Also, it costs almost $4000 new. For that kind of money, and to be 3rd party, you'd better be the same, if not better, than Canon's quality and performance. I haven't spent nearly that much on any one thing yet, but I personally would opt for the Canon for just a few dollars more.

If it was $2,000 new, I might wonder as well. But for roughly the same cost as the Canon equivalent... why not just get the canon equivalent?

I have 2 of them and use them almost everyday in the studio. Photodesk I love working raw files I wish I could use it with canon raw. Bought a 5d this summer for loction work but in studio just love the pro slr/c. Kodak said it will support it for 5years,

I'll bet there aren't constant firmware updates anymore. If I am right you can cross off that con. Only 14 other major issues to deal with. :p

Hey... it looks like they had noise pretty well under control with that camera. Too bad they gave up.

There is one floating around is space if you can find it. Got lost on this last flight.
Reason you don't hear much about the Kodak is that your looking at the wrong forum for Pro cameras. The best of the pro sites went priviate ( invitation only ) subscription about 6 months ago.
