I also have Kodak DCS 760.... which is 1.3x crop camera for Nikon Mount,
I believe, it meters with AIS lenses.... though not 100% sure.
I personally think it's a better body than SLR/n .... definitely better built ()....
"Also announced in 2004, the Pro 14n and SLR/n could be upgraded by Kodak with the Pocket Wizard transceiver for versatile wireless camera and strobe triggering."
Does anyone know anything about this ... like where or if it can still be done? I'm probably headed twoard the SLR/n version.

Paul, i want to use my Nikon lenses and (some m42 lenses that i use on my D700) to use on SLR/n is that possible? Which Kodak SLR/n do you advise and why? I mostly capture landscapes and portraits, by the way will i be able to use my ZF lenses on SLR/n?
There are few Nikon mount Kodak DSLR for Nikon mount.
1) DCS 760 ... 1.3x crop camera.... some prefer the colors from this over others....
2) DCS 14N (x) ... There are two version of 14N...14N and 14NX ... 14Nx has same buffering rate as SLR/n, if I'm not making mistake. Some people call this wild horse, because it takes time to learn the camera.
3) SLR/n ... probably more forgiving than 14N (I've never used 14N)... It's a newer version than 14N.
As far as using lenses that you've mentioned, there shouldn't be any problem.
Please note, however, that the manual focus lenses will not have AV-mode on SLR/n.....
You will have to put the camera on Manual and do everything manually....
@Paul: I've mentioned this before, but in this series of shots (nice btw) it's really obvious to me that your SLR/c has a problem with color shift. They all have a cyan/green cast at the edges and magenta in the middle. Most noticeable on #2.
I don't want to criticize the technical quality of your shots, but I wonder if something is wrong with your SLR/c, or if it's general trait of that camera. In most other shots that you posted (without snow) it wasn't that obvious or not detectable.
Paul thank you very much for the information, one more question if you don't mind, you have some great lenses and beautiful photos but to me it seems that you do the same processing applied all of your shots, your subjects looks like well isolated from the oof area, besides the lenses characteristics do you apply a additional sharpening?

I am not a pro, and I actually don't fully understand what you are describing.
Comparing the hue of the sky in the centre and the edges, it looks more neutral (but with magenta cast) to me in the centre and seems to have a greenish color cast at the edges. I don't believe it has anything to do with your processing.
In the shot with the kite surfer, look at the hue of the snow (and the white car) at the left edge: it's greenish. The rest of the frame is mostly neutral.
If you don't see it and are not bothered by it it's all good. Maybe I see it more strongly because I have a wide gamut monitor...
I would never use the Auto Color/Tone functions in Photoshop, by the way. White balance should be chosen in a RAW developer.
