Greg, I have 2 PGR cameras, the Dragonfly Express with a Kodak KAI-0340DM, and a PGR Dragonfly2 with the sony ICX424AL. They are both very good cameras, the Kodak has more blue sensitivity than the sony, but the sony has a bit less noise. It's hard to pick a clean winner.

The Dragonfly Express has S800 firewire output and can do up to 200fps, this is very useful for lunar work but I don't have a big enough mirror for this to be needed on other planets.

I'll be upgrading to the PGR Grasshopper2 (1600x1200) as soon as I can buy/steal one :-) They look like great cameras, low noise and 2xS800 data outputs, ie 160MBytes/sec between camera and computer. I guess I'll need to upgrade my computer as well :-)

cheers, Bird
