OK, that would be a nicer cooling level for my liking too. These big chips in the ProLine architecture have such low read noise that being able to cool lower is deffinitely an advantage. I want a camera that is read noise limited and with such low read noise you need great cooling (preferrably without the need for water) to take advantage of it
