I spent several years imaging with a G star and can verify that the on screen almost live images are great, showing lots of detail. I don't understand one of the previous comments that a dSLR on 30 sec exposure can give you "live view " that's just what it's called not what it is, it's an after image . At least a video ccd camera like the G star will give you virtually live view with 2.5 sec frame rates. The Samsung scb 4000 has the same size sensor as the G star and is. About 10 x more sensitive. However it has a more complicated OSD menu ,but on the other hand is about $150 cheaper than the g star and is a colour ccd camera .needs the IR filter removing , but Ken has posted a video on u tube that shows you how,not very hard to do.
