Is the Opticstar DS-335C ICE CCD camera anygood?

[Beyond_Vision]

Has any one got any experience using the Opticstar DS-335C ICE CCD camera, it seems a good price for the resolution but the pixel size is a little small and may affect its sensitivity. On its plus side it is 48Bit so should have a wide dynamic range.

Has anybody got any opinions on it?

It's 48 bit colour, 16 bit capture... and at that pixel size it's not so sensitive.

I take it that the 2x2 binning would compensate for the small pixel size?

Well, yes in a manner of speaking, but then you only get 25% frame size. (not FOV, actual image size and therefore resolution). It's pretty much a SAC10.
