A friend recently purchased the latest version of the DCS Pro SLR/n to 
replace a D100 he sold to me. He used it for an USAF ceremony a couple 
of weeks ago and pronounced the camera unusable unless you're not going 
to be shooting items that contain blue. Noise problems. So much for 
filtration solving the problems on that camera. He's struggling with 
Kodak now and hoping he just got a bad one...
