Kodak DCS 760 BIG TOUGH & ahead of it's time !
9 of 10 people found this review helpful.
Likes : Large (I have big hands), dual PC card slots for using big hardrives or two 1 gig CF cards, fastest Nikon autofocus (screw type), half decent raw capture speed (1.5 fps @ 20 frames), and the Kodak Software. The Nikon F5 body is simply fabulous. Low iso speed of 80 ASA for studio work or bright outdoors.
Loves : The top removeable view finder (for top down use), selectable viewscreens, and the overall durable feel of the camera. The F5 body just. feels nice and substantial. The larger 1.3x crop factor makes wide angles a little more useable. Can use Ai lenses and meter well. Everything is shot raw, once you go raw, you'll never go back. Being able to resuscitate a bad shot (+ or -2 EV) is a lifesaver sometimes.
Dislikes : Upper limit of useable ISO is 165 ASA for noise. Uses battery power like crazy (especially if you autofocus alot). Kodak no longer manufacturers parts and will only repair if parts still available. Too bad, they made the best 6 mp camera that was available back in the day.
Overall Conclusion : If you don't mind the size, it's a better alternative to the d1x. I considered a D70 but it just wasn't as capable for hard features. It's a great camera to buy, use, and then throw in the closest for another 20 years and re-sell. It's sure to be a collectible, remember, Kodak invented the original DSLR !
