Pros & Cons
Pros
The sv305 camera is based on the amazingly sensitive sony imx290mc color sensor. The pixel density of the sensor is about the same as that of a 22-mega pixel aps-c sensor. I wish it were mono since i'm using it as a guiding camera.
Most cameras nowadays have a 1/4 threaded hole so you can mount them on a tripod. Svbony has a winner here if you are looking for planetary imaging or guiding. Astrophotography requires sophisticated camera technology that can cost thousands of dollar... Read More
The purity and stability of the shooting are very good. Overall a great bang for the buck. Good starter and cheap.
The image is the result of collecting and stacking a 20-second avi recording. These videos can be converted to avi, stacked and processed using several software packages.
Cons
The camera is probably very good, however it is by no means mac compatible even after contacting the company. You have no control of zoom so basically it is what it is.
Highlights
Quality
The purity and stability of the shooting are very good
Needless to say i am very happy with the quality photos i am able to get from this camera now
I wasnt familiar with the controls and got frustrated when my images came out quite poor discolored etc
After installing the software and connecting the camera to my telescope and laptop it worked
Price
For the price this camera has exceeded my expectations
Im very satisfied for the price of under 150
Then i read in an astronomy forum about a new camera the svbony sv305 at an incredibly low price
But overall a great bang for the buck
Shipping
Ordered on monday evening and had in hand thursday
Packaging/appearance
It arrived with a loose screw banging around inside which is the reason for 4 stars
Competitiveness
In fact its unfortunate that the company called it the sv305 implying it was just a better sv205
Also make sure your finder scope is dead on center with the eyepiece to find the targeti got better shots with my canon eos 70e... Read More
This camera seems to provide a noisier image than another brand i have with the same sensor asi290mc
But thats like comparing a ford to a ferrarithe cars and the cameras are designed for very different purposes for very different buyers
