I think these may become quite popular. I believe several amateurs held off with acquiring a CMOS camera by ZWO/QHY for various reasons. If Atik manages to make a quality product at a competitive price, it might become popular among amateurs.
However, you might be right Glen with Atik sales possibly suffering from competition. This is a reply from Atik to my question about them making a CMOS-based camera that I asked exactly a year ago:
At this point, we've found that CMOS sensors still don't compete with CCDs in the realm of long exposure, cooled astrophotography. That said, they are improving all the time and we always keep an eye on new technologies that we could use in our cameras - it has the potential to be an exciting few years!
