The SLR/n takes Nikon mount lenses, the SLR/c takes Canon mount lenses.
For Canon lenses----------too bad I married Nikon for 30 years already.
Wow, talk about unimpressive: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/cameras/14n-initial.shtml
The 14n and SLR/n aren't the same camera. The SLR/n is a big improvement over the 14n. Different sensor, different firmware, different body, etc. You need to look at the Kodak SLR forum at dpreview.com.It's still a bit of a speciality camera, really good in the studio and certain outdoor applications (landscapes).
whilst I can agree with the reviewer in the article, the portrait is a typical example of what I find some Canons do to skin tones and tones in general: there is a bleaching effect that, for me, makes the image a less effective illusion of reality. The sensation of depth is flattened or made more shallow, and whilst the 'stippling' effect might be annoying on close inspection, I bet the flat-image rendition would bother me more. I have that already with my G3.Is this to do with the way Canon's processors/light chips process detail or something else?

This is the difference between shooting RAW and otherwise, prosumer SLR's and pro SLR's add at most minimal color correction and sharpening in camera- a shock to most p&s or consumer camera users. Shoot in raw and correct on your own later. I'd rather correct images to how I want them to look, not some guy who built the camera and configured the software.
but I believe that the 14N is a different model than the SLR/n. I have a friend who is a photo gear reviewer, who expressed that while the 14N was a dog the SLR/n is really nice.In reading all these posts I am surprised that no one suggested that one might also want to consider a used pro digital SLR. I'm "stuck" with a bunch of older Nikkor prime lenses, so logic dictates that I should stay with Nikon. As an upgrade to my D1 I would look at a used D1X before I would consider, say, a new D100 kit at roughly the same money. I should think the same logic would apply to Canon gear. Spent a day last week taking some promo shots of a recording studio, and having used my D1 in the same room I felt that it would have stood up reasonably well to the 20D with an adapted 21mm Leitz lens we were using, at least for the kind of staged, long exposure low ISO hot lit shots we were taking. All this said, if I didn't have a bunch of Nikkor lenses and I was going to go out and start fresh, I would sure consider the Canon DSLR offerings as well. The 20D is quite impressive.
