I am considering purchasing the SAC7 from Digital Optics. Any feedback on this camera? Thanks.

Personally Scott I like it. I just use it for moon an planet shots. Just my opinion. Here's a shot of the moon a few days ago. Its a little over exposed, but those settings can be changed, I didn't spend a lot of time on it

I used a borrowed Sac7b for a few months, and almost bought it from the owner. 
Was great for Planetary work, but the long exposure didn't work. The owner of the camera returned it to Sac and was sent a replacement camera after a couple of months and several phone calls and e-mails.
Was a bit of a hassle, but not to bad.. They did send the replacement when they said they would, just took a while for them to say they would, after initially saying they would fix it under warranty, and never getting it done. Just remember, this is (I believe, correct me if I am wrong) a one man operation. 8O
I never got a chance to use it for long exposures, so I really cannot comment on that. 8)
