Unfortunately we are forced to discontinue the STF-8300C camera. The KAF-8300C sensor was discontinued by ON Semiconductor over a year ago. We acquired a large supply of these sensors while they were still available; however, this supply has now run out. If you were considering acquiring one of these excellent cameras there are still a few available at some of our dealers. Our popular STF-8300M monochrome camera is not affected by this change.
Not at all. We still make the STF-8300M. There are only two parts that are different between the two - the sensor and the chamber window. In the extremely unlikely event that your CCD sensor were to fail we do have a couple of extra sensors on hand.
