Makes you wonder if Nikon had been tipped off?

In my opinion this is known for months by the industry. These companies have such enormous resources of knowledge, they often know what will be the nex move a few months ahead.

I don't think this invention by Kodak will be that revolutionary; it comes down to one or two stops. It is an improvement of course, but not that ground breaking.

All right, so I'm a little slow; what do you mean by Nikon being tipped off?  Do they have a new product using this technology?

Moreover, if this means an extra one or two stops: why is this so revolutionary? My Fuji S3 offers this for a few years allready!

Ok lets look at it in a business view, who is making the filter? Kodak, what is Kodaks primary market now? Point and shoot camera's Kodak closed its wedding business in the UK this year to concentrate on the consumer market. This filter will mean nothing to the pro photographer hell I can go and buy the S5 Pro and get the added 2 stops in darkness and less noise and more grain feel. what it will make a difference for is the millions of kodak point and shoots that will have this fitted as standard. We are the guiniee pig to see if it works for the wider market and that is something we should always remember.
