Cumbrianwolf Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 SVBONY Have now released their first cooled camera. "The sv405cc camera is SVBONY's first deep-sky camera, equipped with 4/3'' SONY IMX294 sensor, with very sensitive light capture ability, and the TEC cooling system (fan-assisted), which really helps in long exposure photography." Interesting to see how it will perform, and the price is around £650 which is not bad. What do you think? I may be tempted in the future when enough tests and reports come in.

TerryMcK Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 I would wait for unbiased reviews and lots of testing. The sensor itself is a proven workhorse but the whole package needs to be taken into consideration. My experiences of Svbony non electrical/ non optic hardware is good though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazAstro Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Wasn't the 294 chip the one that zwo and qhy had trouble cooling evenly ? I'd wait to see a dark frame that's been stretched but it does look interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pricing seems good but will it back up the investment or is it wiser to save a little longer for another brand that has some long term R&D experience behind them.
