would this be good for solar work they have a 4mp version that does 90 frames per second?
The 2.8MP model in USB3 is the one of choice I reckon at the moment. It will image at top framerate in 16bit which is important with Pt Grey's gamma being broken in 8bit. The firewire version of the same camera won't do the full framerate in 16bit so go the USB3 version.

However, wait a couple of months, there are new cameras coming from Pt Grey and Lumenera in the 2nd half of the year and they will be the ones you will want for solar. If you are using a desktop PC you are welcome to borrow my grasshopper and firewire card to have a play (I have the FW800 version).
