Thank you for your reply.


I am really thinking now for a DSLR option. Canon has the Eos utility and Nikon the Camera Control software to capture the image controlled by a PC but I don't have experience on using it. So which one will be best? Of course this software can't be controlled by ImageJ. But it still is an option.

Normally people are using a professional camera normally with C-mount (that's why I mentioned C mount as a spec). But this is not necessary for me. I wont use it for microscopy but by image analysis on plants.
Sorry, I was not clear on that point.

DLSR camera's have color interpretation (Bayer) but most professional camera's for image analysis use it also (exept 3-CCD or camera;s with color-wheel).
So what will be the biggest difference? Noise?

So if I have to choose because of budget reasons between a low resolution professional camera or a high resolution DSLR camera, maybe the last is the best?

Does anyone has experiences with using DSLR camera with image analysis?

Thanks in advance!
