1. The Sony has a much better lense. Simple, straight up -- everything looked better on the Sony. 2. The AXIS would randomly lock up for 3-5 seconds with no explanation. 3. The AXIS motion detection simply didn't work at times. One out of every 3-5 times you could walk in front of the AXIS and dance around and it wouldn't respond. 4. The AXIS was transmitting 10x the data that the Sony did for the exact same view, with a visibly less good video quality. This means that the part of the camera which recognized which things had changed and needed to be updated didn't work as well. When you start saving 10x the data for the same video image, the cost difference for the Sony becomes inconsequential. Don't fart around with a lousy product, buy a good one from a company who knows what they are doing with a camera lense. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
