What you said about CMOS sounds correct, from what everyone says, but about your other comment...

I don't know if it's all that cool to make negative comments about a competitor in a public forum (esp. if they're not here to reply)

The hicam camera looks totally different. There's a pic of the blackwidow in rcgroups:

I don't know, it just looks completely different... the lens, the enclosure, the cable. The blackwidow looks a bit home-made maybe ?

There also appear to be significant differences in transmitter features. Perhaps you are comparing an apple with a banana?

Just my 2 cents worth... feel free to disagree ;-)
