After about 10 emails I finally got the prices for EMCCD's.

They cost about $32,000.

They have only a super small sensor size.

The cameras are very heavy & would not be easy to mount.

Still - they are the next obvious step in lucky imaging at high frame rates.
I expect we'll start seeing some results in about 10 years
because it will take that long before amateurs can afford them.
