It's interesting to read about trends in the chip world, it does seem like a lot of manufacturers are steering towards CMOS.

I'm currently in the market for a new mono camera and have been eyeing off the QHY814a with the sony ICX814 chip, great QE with relatively low noise... but should I instead look at some of the CMOS based cameras out there? I've been told that the sony chip will be excellent for narrowband which is what I'll primarily be doing with the camera...

It's hard to make a decision with so many products out there, each with the pro's and con's.

I wold love to see what that camera can do in the hands of someone who routinely puts out good images.

On paper it sounds hard to beat. 60mp though is going to be tough on processing power and memory.

I wonder the if the 42.4mp Sony sensor will be released like this one.

It certainly isn’t cheap compared to the KAF-8300 but it’s also 4x the surface area,
has pretty much twice the QE and less than half the read noise.
When you compare it against the KAF-16200 or the KAI-11002 it’s actually a bargain.

We can be certain that many people will buy a QHY 600 or
some other camera with this new IMX455 sensor.
Let's wait and see what results they get.
It will be followed by me with great interest.

cheers
Allan
