The prices on this camera seems to be too good to be true. With the pixel size it has, and the size of the chip one would think it would cost that of an ST8. The 2000 is an antiblooming camera, how would it compare to an antiblooming ST8? WHy such a price difference? Seems that somethings up with these cameras. Anyone with experience with the 2000 I would appreciate if you would contact me, or post here your experience with it. Looking for deep sky, or solar images.
Im debating buying one of these, but Im affraid of it. However its pushing my budget so the ST8 is out of the question. Im using an FS102 and the 2000 seems like it would be a great match. Ive posted on SBIG, but only got one responce.
Tony.

I have a few images: http://www.mrh.org/20021004.html The ST-8 is a lot more sensitive than the 2000. So, you take longer/more exposures. mike
