Is this a QHY8 pro?

At a minimum all cameras should be supplied with well sealed systems as SBIG etc do and have the ability to add a desicant port for owner maintenance which doesnt involve stripping down the camera and exposing the chip and board to possible damage. I realise this feature has been added to some recent cameras but it still seems that there is something odd in the design of these cameras in that it is a recurring problem with even the newer products. This is not the case with such cameras as Starlight Xpress, Atic, QSI etc.
