A certain supplier who is a member of this forum is accepting pre-orders now... I've just put my name down.. $2850 AUD... Cheapest KAF8300 based camera on the market.. I'll be using my FLI 2-5 filter wheel with the 2" filters I have.. I think the reasoning that SBIG are making the 36mm filters and filter wheel is because previously they have only made 1.25" CFW's, which will not cover the KAF8300 sensor, and their 36mm wheel and filters may well be cheaper than buying 2" filters and a wheel.. Apparently Baader, Astrodon and Custom Scientific will be making filters to suit the 36mm wheel... which means you should be able to get some very nice filters to suit the camera cheaper than normal. (all speculation with regards to it being cheaper..)

Santa's bringing me a COOOOOL present this christmas!
