The reality is that the firewire port is faster and it has a consistent standard for what fire wire represents. USB has many standards and this may not be a wise move for the imaging source. I had the fire wire version but replaced it with the lumenera skynyx. One observation I have made so far is the skynyx can hesitate more often than the DMK ever did. This is at the same frame rates and same 8 bit density. The skynyx uses a USB2 architecture.
USB is good, but if plugging in a few more wires means removing the hesitations then I will go with that. The only real advantage I have seen with the new camera is the low noise and greater well depth. If the imaging source had offered these then I would have stayed with them. Alas they did not.
