Lately, I have noticed some newer, faster, and uncompressed cameras similar
to a Toucam coming on the market and, although expensive, they appear to offer like 30 fps rates without loss and either a USB2 or Firewire connection. My main question is their CCD sensitivity and noise levels- is there any place on the web showing a comparsion between the CCDs these cameras are using compared with the Toucams? The closest thing I have been able to find so far is the site for K3CCD Tools: it offers comparsions between Toucams, Vestas, and several long exposure modified security cameras, but none of the newest 30 fps cameras. I am thinking of entering into the planetary imaging. However, after analyzing my seeing conditions over the past several months, I don't think a standard Toucam would work well here. Basically not enough gain and compressed at the higher frame rates. So a 30 fps camera might be better, but only if the CCD is of much greater sensitivity than a Toucams. Thanks in advance, John Olon |
