New Claris Camera

I got a personal demo today from Brian Kim and Matthew Cho, the head honchos at Sota Optics, of their new Claris i310D camera. This camera rocks! It's a USB-only model...there's a USB cable from the base of the handpiece that plugs right into the computer. No docking stations, no capture cards, nada. Even better, the camera capture works directly with this cable; no need for another separate cable. Best of all, the image quality is outstanding...exactly what I've come to expect from these guys. Most folks don't know that Sota makes the cameras for Dentrix, so these guys know what they are doing.

The camera is being released for sale around the time of Spring CDA, in about two months. No official word on pricing, but I expect it to be in the $3500 range or so. I can start taking advance orders now.

    Does it integrate with Dentrix. I don't want to have to capture and then save. Will it go right into the pt's picture section?

    The old camera does, but the new one doesn't...yet. You'll always have to save an image, though...the software has to know that you want to save it,

    I am not a dentist or anything so I dunno if this is relevant, but here's another blog regarding dentist and cam.
