Kodak covers the gamut at this year's PMA show, with introductions ranging from a 2-megapixel point-and-shoot to a 14-megapixel pro SLR. The company's mainstream consumer line of EasyShare cameras continues to emphasize ease of use and seamless compatibility with docks and beginner-friendly software in the EasyShare system.

$4,995 March 2004 14-megapixel (effective) CMOS sensor; compatible with Nikon F-mount lenses; CompactFlash Types I and II, Microdrive, and SD/MMC media The successor to Kodak's 14n hangs onto the highest-resolution slot in the professional digital SLR market (not counting digital medium-format backs, of course). Its newly designed 35mm-size sensor and improved low-light performance promise to make it as capable in the field as the 14n is in the studio.
