It may simply mean that Nikon can no longer provide the N80 based parts used in the Kodak camera. Although I think I read that the canon lens using Kodak was based upon the Sigma body.
Also the DSC-14(n&c) does not use a Kodak made sensor. That may have become unavailable also.
However, as long as DSLR's are based upon 35mm cameras, "full-frame" is
certainly correctly named.

Hi John! :-)
Fascination with incorrectly-named "full-frame" sensors still irks me. I
know this topic has been beaten to death here, but come on, if only ONE
company is doing it, there must be good reasons for it. No point in listing
what I think those reasons are, though. In my limited experience, those who
want a 35mm-size sensor seem to cling to their desire no matter how much
sense one tries to talk into them.

much. the digital lab is much less hostile. (:
That's my point exactly. There seems to be a difficulty for camera
manufacturers to produce so called "full-frame" DSLR.
*Personally* I would *prefer* "full frame" DSLR so that *personally* I
would get the same characteristics from my lenses I am used to
shooting film. But that's beside the point.
Somehow I think the discontinuation of Kodak cameras means slightly
more than just a line in DPReview newscast...
