I have the G2-8300 model and I have to say that "now" I am happy with this camera. Initially I wasn't a happy customer. There was an initial USB connection problem and this was fixed rapidly. However, a few years ago the driver situation wasn't nearly as good as it now is. The camera worked well with SIPS (the supplied software) but not well with ASCOM - and there was no native X2 driver for TheSkyX. Those problems have all been addressed and I feel confident in recommending these cameras! The cooling is good and so is the build quality. I've also have had recent excellent direct customer service re drivers. I do find the download time from the G2-8300 to be a little slow but cannot speak about the 16803 chip camera. I do think you would be well served by the camera.
