I have got the Atik 6.0 and it really is a great camera. With the Sony 694 chip it gives very clean images. Although it doesn't have super deep cooling (-37 below ambient I think) you can run it at -10 or even -5 and it is still very clean so it will be fine in the warmer months. It weighs about 900g which is not too bad but that does include the integrated filter wheel. Changing filters isn't a problem, the tool works fine which you stick through the opening and it grips the filters. You can also remove the front as well. Backfocus is only 27mm which is great if things are a bit tight such is the case with Newts.
Regards,
Lucas
