Kodak makes many solid state sensors, and I assumed that they had made this one also. However, the sensor is made by another company exclusively for Kodak. The company making the sensor says that they will discuss making a "like" sensor for anyone else. I'm not sure what that means other than Kodak has an exclusive purchasing agreement for that sensor. It would be interesting to know what type of volume you would have to guarantee in order for them to make a sensor.***"Is it just me or have I fallen into an area that's even more gear driven, anal, male, than the audio side?"***
It certainly has the potential to be gear driven, although you don't have to fret over power cords, interconnect cables, or whether tubes really are better than solid-state. Some people only collect cameras and never use them (Leicas especially). Other people think they can buy a good photo with better or different equipment. While others like to be "seen" with their equipment (equivalent to them of owning a Ferrari).
Me? I think photo equipment is just a tool. But like tools, you can't fix everything with only a pair of pliers. I have many different cameras because I do a lot of different types of photo work. Like, right now, if I wanted to photograph outdoors I would use my Nikonos because of the snain (snow/rain) falling. I could comfortably take photos without any regard for the equipment being ruined by water, or having to take an assistant to hold an umbrella or other special measures.
I would suggest that you not look at photography as an art, but more of a sport - and have fun with it. It can be whatever you want it to be. It certainly provides a way to explore many different things from the world in general to your definition of self within a certain time and space. Whatever you do, make your pictures the way you see things and don't worry if they meet classical visual composition standards - that is the absolute least important thing in a photo.
You only have to remember the following "rules." There are only two types of photos - the interesting kind and the boring kind. Just don't make the latter.
