Since we have stepped out into various additional markets including astronomy and surveillance, we have been seriously considering ethernet, or GigE, camera development as a future endeavor. Thanks for your interest, profjohn Benjamin,

What is the reason for to use a short-distance capable interfase, like USB or Firewire? Why not to use a cheap 100 Mb/s ethernet instead ? It is easy to use, very cheap, all the world knows it and all the PC have one o more ethernet interface. And without mention the WiFi.... I will be very thankful with your answer! Hello,
