Digital X-ray Recommendations

Anyone have any?

The office is very small, fairly low-budget and low-volume. The dentist often works alone. I envision a laptop on a cart with the sensor, so that it can be rolled from one room to the other. Wireless network, extra-long battery. I can do an SSH tunnel for extra security, maybe? Can this be done for a few thousand dollars? Does anyone have any particular recommendations for sensors and software? Should I call the company and buy direct, or are there other ways?

We'll be keeping the X-ray machine, which is a Gendex Gx 770.

If all you want is BW and PA's I suggest a suni sensor and use OD directly. Direct capture w/OD works quite well. Image quality is as good or better than what I get w/ Apteryx. You can't do Full Mouths yet.

THanks, that's just what I need. No FMXs. Looks like people have bought the sensors on ebay for as little as $2500, though there are none there now. I'll keep my eyes open.
