The DSI II has been announced. Larger chip and more sensitive. Also more expensive.

michael,
thanks for the heads up. it is a bit annoying when you buy something and 2 minutes later the new improved version pops up.

Just look at Intel! :P

That DSI II looks pretty neat, coming with the RGB filters attached and interchangeable, and 74% higher resolution. I presume, and hope (well, by the time I can afford a new one anyway) that the original DSI will come down in price soon enough...

Depends where you're buying it from Conor. Check out the section in the Links forum for retailers websites, then just browse and find out

Well guys to put this into context. The orion starshoot has the same chip as the new DSI and is THERMO cooled yet costs only 399USD so IMHO the new DSI doesnt amount to that good a deal.
