As I have Starshoot pro, so I don't need DSLRs anymore.

The whole set:

1) Canon 350D modded with Edmund Scientific filter + USB cable for downloading (S$300)
2) Hutech 12DC power / AC power for Canon DSLR (EOS203) (S$130)

3) Hutech IDAS LPS P2 Clip-on filter for Canon 350D (S$260)

http://www.sciencecenter.net/hutech/filters/ffilter.htm

4) Shoestring DSUSB for controlling shutter release for Canon 350D DSLR (S$80)

Whole set = S$700

Full demo of camera from acquistion to final processing is available.

Pictures taken with this camera before:

Small Print:
1) No T-ring, but T-2" adapter is available
2) The filter in the camera is a little "oily" already. If your picture has high S/N, then no problem. If you want optimal performance, then modify with the Baader filter, you will get even better spectral response.

Thanks for looking.

I think even if DSI 3 is not cooled, you can still get far better raw pics than DSLRs. With the temp sensor inside, the dark frames calibration will be very accurate.

By the way, from Hutech's website, the clip-on IDAS LPS filter fits:

Canon Rebel(300D), XT(350D), XTi(400D), 20D, 20Da, and 30D
