The Art-429

The ART-429 offers great performance at the price. The CCD itself has been through several revisions at Sony and now offers even better dynamic range compared with its predecessors. Again its an unfiltered exView for maximum sensitivity but offering lower noise and dark current than the 1/3inch format CCDs.
