So will i have to swallow my pride as a proud Nikon user... Keep reading i'm not gonna give you the answer before you've reached the bottom ;)
First... The contestants...

Point to Nikon...
Another important thing is the feel and the weight of the camera...
I was surprised here... I thought the Kodak with it's age would be more "metal" and less "plastic"... But even though it's an old camera... The feel of it was more like a new plastic camera... I later found out that it has a complete magnesium body... So i think it's light weight but can take some impact... (NOT gonna test that theory...)
The Nikon D700 wins this round too... It's heavy and i've marks on the body that proves it can take some punches... And that is very important... Imagine that you are out on a shoot... You're 2 meters tall like me... The camera is in the same hight as your eye, because... Well you're taking pictures... But shit you somehow lost your grip... Then it's very important that you have a tough camera... I haven't yet dropped the Nikon from that height... And i don't intend to... But it would definitely have a bigger chance of surviving the fall than the Kodak...
Point Nikon...
Studio...
The Nikon has a higher sync speed than the Kodak... Which means that it can block out more "background" light than the Kodak... Therefor againPoint Nikon...
Compitability with equipment...
Now i've only been able to test with what i've got... And in that case that was my Speedlight SB 910, wireless triggers, and my remote for long exposure... All under a year old... Both cameras accepted 100% of the features my equipment has... And that surprised me i thought the Kodak would be to old... But it's not...Draw...
Start-up time...
I did'nt think this was necessary... But the Kodak took like ages before it was ready to shoot... Software is simply to slow... Now i always turn my equipment off to save battery... So that definitely matters to me... The Nikon was spot on... Ready to shoot...
Point Nikon...
The last thing is the "accessibility"... (How easy is it to make adjustments...)
On the Nikon the vitals are easy to change... And you can do most of it when shooting... Where as the Kodak you have to go into menus for some things... Again the Nikon wins this one... I don't have time for that... My equipment is "advanced" enough...Point Nikon...
