Default Nikon D100, D2X or Kodak DCS Pro 14N ???

For example the Kodak's 13.7 mp (4536 x 3024) high resolution
format is available *only* at ISO 80, while ISO 400 and 800 can
provide at most 6 mp (3024 x 2016) resolution.


I haven't used this camera but I think this is wrong ... for example
this review site seems to say you have the full resolution at ISO 80,
100, 125, 160, 200, 250, 320 and 400 ... only at 500, 640 and 800 are
you limited to 6 Mpix ...

I got that from one source, but didn't notice that others contradicted
it. However, even then there seems to be confusion.

"Sensitivity: ISO 80 - 640 at full resolution (4536 x 3024),
ISO 80-800 at all other image sizes."


"ISO of 100, 200, 400 (ISO 800 at reduced resolution)"

"ISO Speeds : 400 800 80"

Hence, I'm not sure exactly what the actual specifications are,
but it appears agreed that ISO 800 is the highest speed, and
that it is at 6 mp resolution. Other values may or may not be
available, and may or may not work at 13.7 mp, but it does
appear that ISO 80 and 200 do for sure.

It is also _very_ likely that dpreview.com has it exactly correct,
and the others are simply in error.
