The Monochrome version of the edgertronic high speed camera is now $200 USD cheaper due to a price cut based on higher than expected sales for the model.  From an initial $5,695.00 to a now $5,495.00 – This puts it in parity with the color version of the hardware.   The Monochrome version is more sensitive to light and it is a better fit for resolution and light constrained needs.  Many scientific applications work well with monochrome cameras as the Bayer pattern is scrapped for a full resolution black and white raw image that preserves the full linear res.
