DMK Cameras

[drumsolo]

Pardon my ignorance but i would like to know why the DMK monochrome cameras cost more than the colour ones? Hope someone can answer this for me. Is down to the quality of mono being better than colour?

Thanks

A few weeks ago when I was looking, they were the same price whether mono or colour.

I guess the prices have recently changed, but I can't tell you which has gone up/gone down or why.

Mono are more versatile than color, and there is bigger intrest in mono - so prices sometimes are higher.

Note also that there will be new version of DMK21 camera soon

Why would there be more interest in mono? Surely its better to see images in colour!

You can do color images with a mono camera - using RGB filters. Also mono sensor will work optimaly with UV, IR or other special filters.

Mono camera's are generally more sensitive. They also work very well with narrow band filters.

Is it because a mono camera is a lot cheaper than an sensitivity colour camera, so you can get more bang for your buck if you buy a high sensitivity mono camera and then use filters?
