I think I like the DMK618 image the best.

The DFK is a great color camera.It is easy to get good images and you dont need to worry about filters.It is not as sensitive as the mono cameras and you get less detail.It can be hard to get the color balance right.I turn debayering on in ICcapture to view the color image and then adjust the red and blue balance.You have to remember to turn off debayering before you record.

The DMK 21 has been my standard camera.Great sensitivity and better detail possible than with the DFK.Generally you can use shorter exposures than with the DFK and that means you can get better images if the seeing is less than perfect.

The DMK 21-618 is my new camera.It is much more sensitive than the DMK 21.I can shoot at 1/76s exposure even through the 8 inch aperture.The image I took on 9/21/2011 shows the kind of detail you can pick up with the 618-much more detail than with the DMK
