Correct... to my understanding, the original Kingfisher was designed for low light video surveillance so necessitated a high readout rate with the associated noise. The Kingfisher V is a different beast altogether and has the option of a fast (noisy) readout rate, or the 1.5e- noise level appropriate for microscopy and astronomy. Peter, I believe, has referenced the spec sheet for the older camera.

Also I think they are careless in their spec sheet as the 2 sensors should have different well depths.
Indeed... but by the same token, D-111C cooling and 1.5e- noise levels are a profound game changer for narrow band imaging. Frankly, I am stunned that Peter is not seeing the opportunity here.
