analog & Digital video cameras That I have used

Below are cameras that I have had the pleasure to use.  Recently digital cameras have come to dominate EAA.  It started with the Lodestar, then really took off with the ASI224MC (and other cameras with the Sony IMX224 sensor).  Today there are many new cameras which are used for EAA - far more than I could begin to own myself.  And new ones come available as new sensors hit the market.
