Re: Filter size and Sensor chip size
As to the question, yes save some bucks. Even though the camera states a "1 inch chip", it is actually 16mm diagonal and 1.25 inch filters cover easily.
I uses 1.25 in filters with my ASI1600 and it is 22mm diagonal. Called a "4/3 inch chip", incidentally.
Clear skies,
