I wouldn’t be too concerned about 14bit compared to 16bit
Just stack more shorter subs with the 533MC to fully utilise the dynamic range of the sensor
The 533MC performance charts attached are excellent ( as with the 2600MC )
The HGC mode kicks in at Gain 100 for both cameras which provides low read noise at good dynamic range
Dark current for both cameras is super low cooled to -10C , no need to go lower

533MC and 2600MC have same size pixel pitch at 3.76uM so image scale is similar but the 533MC 1” sensor size is somewhat restrictive depending on your resultant FOV from your image train and type of target areas for imaging
You really can’t go wrong with either camera but there’s a huge cost difference.

Good luck

Martin
