WOW, 61MP, that's going to blow the Nikon sensored thing out of the water with it's paltry 45.xMP sensor.
They didn't list the price, they don't want people going into cardiac arrest I'm guessing?
As they say, if you have to ask you can't afford it. I'm always in that boat but one day.........


The fibre optics and/or 10Gbps connection is going to make for some serious data capture without the usual USB pipeline congestion, very impressive.
The price is $US9,999.00 Indeed, not for casual hobbyist!

I am finding the seamless integration with SBIG's ecosystem (which I already have). very tempting...
Autoguider, AO and CFW with downloads in 0.25 of a second...could open up
a new era of high resolution imaging using a combination of deep sky with lucky imaging.

My hope is the $AUD will get up to into the 70-80 cent mark.
Would definitely pull the trigger at that point
