Hi oicrumit,
I suggest you re-place your thread in the Astrophotography section and change the name to the name of the cam you´re inquiring about.
This is not really beginners equipment and there are folks in the other section that can explain you the molecular mixture of the sensor if you want but here it´s more about webcams and slr´s.
Just a tip
Good Luck with shipping your gear, just shipped mine from Melbourne to Auckland - few broken mirrors - but not in my scopes
