Sheesh!! But I realized this actually gives me a nice opportunity, as I could cancel my order if I choose to. You cannot tell me that I was not a victim of a ploy by Sirona to unload Blue cams with a special deal on unsuspecting doctors.'īut another wrote: 'I haven't even received the Blue Cam that I just ordered and already it is outdated. Now I am learning that there is a new camera! I enjoyed being up to date for two whole weeks. 'My Bluecam is only 3 years old, and I was NOT anticipating paying for another camera anytime soon.'Īnother wrote: 'I took sirona up on the recent up grade special pricing from the red cam to the blue cam. 'The only reason I'd be interested in upgrading at this time would be if the camera were free,' one poster wrote on Dentaltown. For those who purchased it prior to that date, the cost to upgrade will be $40,000. Others were bothered by the upgrade pricing variations for existing Bluecam owners, the cost to upgrade will be $27,500 if the camera was purchased after January 1, 2012. Some were upset by the cost of upgrading to a new camera, given that the Bluecam is a relatively new device and they had only recently upgraded to it from the Redcam. And up to now, staff delegation has been difficult, but with the Omnicam it isn't.'īut some practitioners remained skeptical as word of the new camera's features spread this week via social media and message boards. 'Once you can rotate and zoom in and zoom out, you have a totally different experience with regard to patient education. 'I think doctors will use this instead of an intraoral camera,' he said. This offers practitioners a number of advantages, both clinically and for patient education, MacLeod added. The Omnicam displays full-color images (left), versus the monochrome images of the Bluecam (right) and competing products. what you see in the patient's mouth is what appears on the screen.' 'What we have now with the Omnicam is full color that allows you to see blood vessels, dentin, amalgam, gold.

'With Bluecam, you see the physical 3D aspects, but because it only uses a single (blue) light source, it can't capture the spectrum of data, which means the engineers make the resulting image all one color - yellow or blue or green,' he said.
