Hi all,

Looking for a low-nois, high QE (at 500-600nm), camera, ideally with ability to achieve 1kHz at 0.5-1MP. Orca Lightning seems to tick some of the boxes, but just wondering if there is something else out there? Doesn’t look like Andor or Photometrics have anything as fast.

The Photometrics Kinetix camera is pretty fast, at least in 8 bit mode. [Kinetix](https://www.photometrics.com/products/kinetix-family/kinetix), in case you missed it.
