What is the difference between the NC2000 and NC2000e?

I know that Kodak came out with a new version of the KAF1600 with extended sensitivity in visible; the KAF1603 (think that is it). Also, I notice that my Kodak id's itself as a 420D. What do these "extensions" mean?

Here is a link to the DS560/565 Product Brochure in PDF.

It was not easy to "google" across.

Download it while you can!

Well I certainly lam looking forward to the E3 after reading this review.

BTW, your daughter is adorable.

DCS200IR, ~$12,400 The color filter wheel attachment was not cheap, I think >$4K. The 7-pin comnector on the DCS4xx controls the filter-wheel. I think the DCS200 connected through the SCSI port. A group down the hall from me almost bought one, but went with the color model instead. The acquisition t...

I am using a 260mb PCMCIA hard drive formatted as FAT-16 in my DCS420c. I will try it in the E3 as well. There should be a difference in memory address limits and disk size. A Flash-Disk emulates a disk, and does not need to be memory mapped by the camera. Some people in Rob Galbraith's forum report...

Just to add the DCS200IR. It was essentially the monochrome-internal drive model with clear cover glass. The ISO settings stayed the same, but you had to use the +/- switch of the N8008s to compensate for sensitivity in the IR. I get good results with a -1 setting when using it "across the boar...

The Serial Number on the DCS420 looks linear, ie 420-6125. The firmware date is stored in the image file headers, but not the manufacture date. If the camera has received a firmware upgrade, it will be hard to correlate the SN to manufacture date. Mine had the older 1997 date in it until I downloade...

Okay, I bit. Went for an E3 with the faster optics. I figure it will be the wide-angle camera with a 28mm F2. I am very impressionable. But I AM NOT going to collect every varient, so you guys can blast away at EBay now(Thankyou Kiu for the cease-fire)! I will be writing my Raw convertors and taking...

I believe that the raw format for the color images are the same, so an interpolation routine would be required to build the 24-bit color "pixels". The .bmp format handles RGB easily. I'll read into what algorithms are used, I have cubic spline routines available. Tiff would allow storage o...

I am guessing that a lot fewer DCS200's were made, about 1/10th that of the DCS4xx series. They were more expensive and had a shorter production run than the DCS400. AND if you count the ration of DCS200's to DCS4xx's sold on EBAy in a month, it is probably 1:10. The DCS4xx was a much improved camer...

As you know, Kodak does not provide software support for the DCS200 and the twain drivers are a bit old. You can transfer files to disk, but then must "change file" one at a time without a mass preview function. So I decided to write a ".kc2" to ".bmp" convertor TODAY. ...

Not sure about it being a Nikon I, but I am going after one just the same. I am a hopeless Nikon Fanatic, and the E3 has interesting optics. A few months ago I walked into a Nikon M unsync at a local antique store, priced as a Nikon S. I can live with that being as close to a Nikon I as I will get! ...

That is the one.

So Jarle, they made your camera and obviously it was out of this world...

My guess is that there will be some odd special varients out there. Look at this Color Infrared DCS460: http://www.ulst.ac.uk/faculty/science/crg/camera.htm Kodak was open to the idea of special/limited runs of the CCD's. As I "recall" there were about 50 DCS200IR's produced. That was as p...

The DCS200 works with Future Domain SCSI adapters and Adaptec ASPI compatible drivers. I am using an Adaptec 2940 PCI card with mine. The TWAIN drivers is 16 bit. I am running WIN95b for mine. Adaptec SCSI cards for PCMCIA are ~$25 or so, I may pick up one and try it in my laptop. But you will be ba...
