That is true. In addition some like the Kodak 14N have an even wider 10
stop dynamic range with some visible noise in the shadows according to
Thom Hogan. The Kodak software lets you reduce the dynamic range to so
that the digital noise is covered, but it is still wider than the other
digital cameras.

I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but you shooter of OM lenses
attached to an EOS adaptor have a cheaper full frame alternative than
the 1Ds. Kodak now has the EOS mount version of their 14MP full frame
sensor camera available for much less money. Now whole field of that
18mm Zuiko will actually be captured.
