Imaging camera, is the DFK 41AF02.AS any good?
I'm looking at a camera for getting into astrophotography, and the DFK 41AF02.AS has a recommended retail price of US$575, which seems quite decent for a 1280x960 firewire colour CCD. THe DBK appears to be the same camera without the IR cut filter which may be the better option?
What sort of imaging would this camera be suitable for? I know most people go for the monochrome cameras instead of the one-shot colour, and I've read up on the reasons and that all makes sense, but wondering what the colour DFK would be capable of/best suited for.
The reason this one also piques my interest is that I have a need for a colour CCD of decent resolution to use in a film telecine rig (transferring Super8 and 16mm films to Bluray/DVD), and I could afford to spend the money on a camera if it solved two problems so to speak.
Any thoughts or experience very much appreciated.
