Apparently. But Kodak's management is stupid.

Kodak's Dr. Bayer invented the Color Filter Array. I'm pretty sure they came 
up with the original AA filter in the 520 also. Single shot, non -Foveon 
cameras without AA filters or "chip wigglers" like the Sinars look like crap, 
including the Kodak 14n, SLRn, c, and the latest Kodaks, which is a big mistake on 
their part. The latter my opinion, not a fact, which was formulated after 
shooting Jay Kelbley's (former lead digital camera dog at Kodak) personal camera 
and all the "fixem in firmware" updates. I have owned, tested, utlized all of 
Kodak's digital product in the last 10 years and have made millions of files 
from them (still do). No brag, just a qualifier for my opinions.
