Yes, im looking to finally get back into imaging after a long hiatis and the choices for a new cam are more confusing than ever. Improvements in sensor dont seem to be the main criteria these days given they havent changed much. SBIG STXL looks the most promising with built in before-the-filter internal guide (backfocus issues alone should make this a success), but they are taking forever to get to market, and the choice of 11002 or 6303 chip choice is very odd, both old sensors, although the 6303 version is still attractive to me, if I could actually get it. 16803 does appear to be the sweet spot these days, though mainly on bang for buck rather than outright performance.. I have it on good inside goss that FLI version has the best performance/reliablity and support these days, and yet many astroimaging rockstars seem to prefer Apogee U16m/F16m, I have no idea whats going on there.
Im still hard pressed to ditch the absolutely ancient ST10, I cant believe there isnt a larger sensor now with the same or better QE.
