Eastman Kodak Company has announced a PocketWizard upgrade for several of its digital SLR cameras. The upgrade, available only as a service upgrade in the US and Canada, direct from Kodak, is compatible with the Kodak Professional DCS Pro 14n, DCS 14nx and DCS Pro SLR/n digital cameras.

The PocketWizard is a digital radio triggering system that fires the flash and camera simultaneously to capture split second action at every angle. It allows photographers more flexibility to position lighting where necessary without being tethered by a sync cord. PocketWizard upgrades are US$395, including return shipping, in the U.S. and Canada. The device warranty is coincidental with the camera warranty or 90 days, whichever is longer. Upgrades will be available on a first come, first served basis.

A DCS Pro 14n with an imager upgrade becomes a DCS Pro 14nx camera with an expanded ISO range from 6 to 1600, making it on par with the image quality of the newer generation DCS Pro SLR/n.
