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?
