Measurements of the absolute sensitivity of three different optical cameras are presented. An absolutely calibrated tungsten strip-lamp was used for calibrating the devices. An experimental method for determining the solid angle which is accepted by the combination of the cameras with a broadband apochromatic lens is described. The results with five bandpass filters between 337nm and 740nm are shown. The signal to noise ratio and the spatial resolution of the camera systems is also discussed.
