I have the Dragonfly camera, it is a great camera that can do really high frame rates. I am well pleased with the results with it so far. The expert on all things PointGrey is Anthony (bird), as he has tested various cameras from Point Grey and has produced brilliant results.
Another feature these cameras offer is ROI (Region of Interest), which allows you to select a portion of the frame and only capture that, this helps reduce bandwidth needs and file size.

Higher resolution is not necessarly a better thing for planetary imaging. From what I have read higher resolution (if it means smaller pixels) is only really of benfit for Lunar and Solar imaging work. If ofcourse the pixel sizes are the same and you have ROI capability then you could pottentially increase frame rate capture and use a smaller region for Planet work.
