Hi Guys, looking about at the firewire cameras from imaging source (DMK - mono, and DFK's - colour) I notice they also have DBK's "BAYER" - does anyone know what this means and what these do? The specifications seem pretty well identical, same chip and all that?

One other thing that struck me was that if I could get a chip with smaller pixel size then I could achieve better resolution as the same size image on the chip would be covered by or cover off more pixels. On this I see that they also have larger chips (1028x768) firewire cameras that have 4.6micron pixels as opposed to the 5.6micron pixel size on the 640 by 480 chips of the toucam's neximage and DMK/DFK's of this size. The downside is these only have a top frame rate of 30fps versus 60fps for the 640x480 DMK/DFK cameras.

What think you guys - you think the pixel size reduction may be worth it?

cheers,
