Can't argue with that Brendan, but I still argue that better design can alleviate the main problem with these cameras. An air tight, purgeable cavity for the ccd chip is not rocket science. I loved/love my qhy8 and qhy10 cameras and found the cooling etc excellent. It gave/gives great images but it's this one continuing problem that really needs addressing in my opinion. They have made the right choice in the chips they use and obviously altered the design of the qhy8 cameras to separate the chip from the pcb to minimize induced noise but still have this issue. A paper clip is an excellent design and cheap at the same time. Good design doesn't have to be expensive.
Just my 2c
