A CCD brand I haven't heard of before

Happened across this. Pretty cheap. Any thoughts?

$497.53 AUD That IS cheap!

If something appears too good to be true it almost certainly is. I notice this is the only page on their site that opens up. I reckon this could be dodgy. They say it is 900euro off the rrp, that is a huge price reduction if it is genuine. I would be very wary, maybe I am just skeptical...



The site now seems to be working, but never the less I still have reservations...

I am not totally sure about that Sony sensor but it seems much like one of the DMK type cameras except that it is cooled. So price is low but not unrealistically so.

It might make an excellent autoguider. I am tempted. You can't have too many autoguiders in my experience!

Looks spookily similar to this:

If the EU$399 (496 AU$) price looks very good, can't tell if that is for mono or colour.

Every page opens up for me...

I found this camera some time back while searching through Alibaba website, and came across one company that made a camera , identical to the photos in your link.

But this company is no more listed on Alibaba or maybe has had its name changed.
