I has this post under equipment reviews and then discovered this forum section.
From dslr to ccd-upgrade
I am seriously considering upgrading from a Canon 450d to a full blown ccd. I currently use a C11 at f6.3 and a Megrez 72 for my imaging work.
I would like to go for a mono camera as I know I will want to upgrade from a one shot color eventually.
The Sbig 8300 , Atik 383 and Qhy9 all use the same Kodak 8.3 MP chip but there is a big difference in price. Would these cameras suit my imaging gear? The Qhy9 looks like great value but is there any downside. I have seen some good reviews. Any recommendations or other camera suggestions? These are all at the limit of my budget and then there is the filter wheel and filters etc which may have to wait a while (except for the qhy9 package.)
