You make a good point Mike. I occasionally go through the throes of “must upgrade my ST7E” and end up looking at the SBIG and Starlight Express line of ccd cameras.
I have tended to avoid the one shot colour because of the “resolution issues” continuously being spoken about in the ccd imaging forums. I guess if you are a Rob Gendler, it matters; but for the majority of potential users, they would be stoked to grab an image like Alan Chen's.
When spending $1000's on a ccd, there can be a tendency to “play it safe” and go for the SBIG models, yet you may not require those attributes that differentiate the SBIG models from the Starlight Express models.
The main reason I would chose SBIG is for the dual guiding design of their cameras, although there are alternatives in the Starlight Express range.
Cheers
Dennis
