Paul,

I am not sure these are really all that comparable to one another in specs to then compare them by price !

The QSI uses the 8mp KAF8300 sensor - its a 4/3rd sensor (just smaller than APSC)
The pixel size is 5.4µm
(btw used by some of the older Olympus DSLRs - in colour)

The STL uses the 11mp KAF11000 sensor which is a much larger chip and has 9µm pixels and twice the well depth.

There are so many other differences its a bit like comparing apples with pears

I note QSI claim 70db dynamic range yet Kodak who make them claim 64db ? Maybe its when they are chilled - or maybe its marketing ?

I cant imagine you would get any vignetting with the QSI and I am sure its a good camera - Apogee and FLI use the same chip too.
What is their interface like and is the camera supported by the software packages you would like to use ?

Cheers

Rally
