I believe they've always had a good reputation but I could never get my old express to focus, probably more me than the camera. That was with the suggested camera lens fitted before moving to a telescope. It could have been something with the serial (DB9/RS232) to USB adapter but I don't believe that would affect my visual focus through the computer.

I have thought about putting a much later sensor and USB-3 connection in with the cooled body though but I hate the thought of destroying anything photography.
I have used five SX cameras, three SX autoguiders, two SX FW's and two SX OAG units now, since June 2003 and they have all given me nothing but please and no negative issues, none. They show no fixed patern noise, are linear, with no amp glow and no gain adjustments are required, heck they dont even need dark frames. I have had much success with them too, so I love'em and can only say good things about them
