New DMK or other camera?

Postby BlueAstra » Tue Mar 13, 2012 9:15 am

I'm considering the new DMK21AU618.AS Mono for Planetary and Lunar imaging. Should I be considering any other camera in a similar price range, and if so which one?

Are there any issues with this camera at 60fps?

Just bought that one myself. looks fine at the moment ,no issues with 64 fps , think the problem is with the 618 colour ., dont see anything better other than going for the higher market ones, reports back on this camera are very good .
