Hi Prabhakar,

They are indeed different chips, hence different characteristics. Andor is using 
the Fairchild chip. There are other sCMOS cameras to consider as well. Raptor 
offers a sCMOS camera (Osprey) which uses a CMOSIS chip (you can Google 
these guys to find out more information). This is a 4.2MP (2048x2048) chip with 
64% QE at 600nm. It also uses a global shutter, something to consider. It is a 
small, light camera that offers a very attractive price point. Feel free to contact 
me for more information.

Mark
