It is generally considered good form to put "Commercial Response" in the header of messages like this. Of course we all value messages from vendors, but it is nice to be able to distinguish them.

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.
