[OpenSPIM] Camera for OpenSPIM

[Hartmann Harz]

Hi all,

We have started to build up an OpenSPIM set up at the biology department 
in Munich. All parts with the exception of the camera have been ordered 
now. My concern are the problems with the DCAM driver for the 
recommended Orca ER. At the moment a Windows XP operating system is OK 
for us, however on the long run we have to upgrade the operating system. 
Therefore I ask for your advice:

Would you recommend to by the Orca ER and wait for a bug fix?
Are there any plans to integrate other cameras soon?
In the June 2013 archive I read about the COS Heidelberg OpenSPIM 
equipped with an Orca4 camera. Could this be an option for us?

We have only a weak background in programming. Therefore I would prefer 
to stay close to the standard.

Looking forward to your reply,

Hartmann
