Wow, the images in this thread are amazing! The Kodak sensors are great (as are the photographers)!

If you can bear with absence of some of the convinient features of more modern cameras, Kodak DSLRs are probably the best cameras around IMHO.
In fact, I have three of them, because I like them so much....
If your main concerns are color, detail, and dynamic range, you ought to try one....
It's very addictive....

+1. And I really like the low ISO (down to ISO6) for slow shutter speeds with out a ND filter, and even greater color and dynamic range. This was a 15sec ISO6 exposure

Great tones and colors. Looks more film-like than digital. The Contax N's and SLR/c look to be a great match.

Thank you, Paul.

Incredible camera.
What about the service and such? I.e if you should need to clean the sensor or replace the shutter? I am researching a little atm. All I can find is that there are a lot of batteries still for sale, which is quite good news...

That's what sensor swabs and Eclipse is for, While the shutter is a bog standard Nikon N80 item, at that point I'd just find another good "user" body.

I am still weary about touching the sensor myself...
Well, Kodak might be able to replace it for a fee, obviously..

Why not get it cleaned by someone else? Local shop near me charges about $50, but I think they raised the price recently. Doesn't matter what make of camera.

hyst: Indeed. Should be fine. My Canon were cleaned by Canon themselves each time for free, but now apparently they started charging about $30...so gettinng it clean at a pro store for a little more shouldn't be a problem...

Heading off topic but I am curious, did Canon themselves clean it? Did you get a receipt or documentation?
I'm in Canada, I had a 5D under warranty and Future Shop handled sending it for cleaning to Canon, at least they claimed Canon. When it came back it was terrible, not clean or perhaps worse. The slip in the box was from some shop in Toronto and said something about being authorized by Canon or something. I complained and surprisingly they gave me cash on the spot to pay the local shop to do the cleaning.

Actually Kodak will no longer service the camera. They were done with the SLR's in Dec 2008 (I think).
Midwest Camera handles repairs for the Kodak SLR's now. So if you run into issues with it, the chances of getting it fixed are getting slim by the day - I am guessing until parts supply run out. I never had to send in my SLRc or SLRn to Midwest - so can't speak for their service - then again, they are the only game in town.
http://www.midwestcamera.com/kpro.html
The biggest issues with the SLRc/SLRn were (traces of) the sensor dying - can be observed once you start seeing dead pixels by the edge of the screen - usually in the corners.
Cleaning the sensor is no different than cleaning the 5D or FX sensor - not too hard. Swabs and eclipse do the job well.
Look in the Buy & Sell forum for several Kodak OEM - original Kodak batteries, charger, DC couplers and accs., etc.

How many shutter counts before the sensor will fail? I would think all things mechanica can be repaired. It is the only electronics that will pose a problem. Generally what is the lifespan of this camera?
