Anybody out there with good or other reviews they could share on the QHY 12?
I like the APS sensor size and pixels.

What do you folks think?

I have one and it works well but I prefer the results I get from a mono camera so I don't use it very often.

Cheers,
Rick.

I have the 10 and have used the 12, but preferred the 8 for light gathering. I have the same problem as Rick and prefer the mono camera (qsi583).

Mono is always going to give better results but
you are limited in frame size.

Bringing up an old conversation, I was looking at this recently.

I'm interested in the comment about the 8's light gathering being better. Currently using an 8 - enjoying it a lot.

Why is the light gathering better with this one though?

The QHY-8 has the biggest pixels at 7.8um vs 6.05um for the QHY-10 and 5.12um for the QHY-12.
