Wow!
I was floored to see this. They are using a DCS 760 in space
 
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.rss.html?pid=27434
 
Hewre's the relevant paragraph
 
The CDR, with Garrett Reisman, also completed post-EVA clean-up activities, 
reconfiguring the Kodak 760 DCS (digital camera system) for nominal use, 
e.g., 
removing its thermal cover & flash attachment, and starting regeneration of 
the METOX (Metal Oxide) CO2 filter canisters in the Airlock (A/L).
 
Not sure what they need the metal oxide CO2 flter canisters for.
 
I wonder how many gallons of fuel it took to
put that thing in orbit. Maybe they gave it its 
own dedicated Kodak rocket booster!
