Thanks Martin.
I'll be using it for both fluorescence capture on fixed specimens and
for live imaging

It depends upon what you want the camera for and what kind of imaging
you're doing. I generally take images of dead, fixed tissue and for
that I am still using the same dirt-cheap, 8-bit, 640x480-pixel
monochrome camera that I bought 12 years ago. However, if you were
doing live-cell imaging, deconvolution, capturing rapid calcium
transients, etc., that camera would probably be unsuitable.
So what do you want to use it for?
