Hi Prabhakar,
I have used both these cameras and in my opinion, the Evolve is a much
superior camera with the photoelectron info readout ability and plug and
play format with no need for a framegrabber at all that to me there is no
question. Plus the Evolve self calibrates so it is set up for your
system once it has been connected. I love this camera!!
