SUMMARY
The discussion centers on selecting a camera for a rocket, specifically comparing CMOS and CCD technologies. Users emphasize that CCD cameras generally offer faster operation than CMOS cameras. The budget constraint is set at $100, with a preference for options around $50. Participants suggest that finding suitable cameras within this price range may be challenging.
