Are you taking about the DCS Pro SLR/c?

The body is made by Sigma (and based on the SD10), so as an SD9 owner
you'll feel at home with the controls. A number of people don't like
anything made by Sigma, but I've noticed that you are not among them.

The full frame CMOS sensor is Kodak's own, and is of the conventional
bayer type. It greatest weeknesses are low burst rate, high ISO noise
and no AA-filter, which makes it prone to moiré.

I assume you already has looked it up at dpreview, if not:
