The technology discussion for megapixel camera applications is never ending. From topics like Wide Dynamic Range to H.264 the discussion just got started. Undeniably the best proof is a real time shootout or recorded proof of concept. In the above example each MP camera is factory default to perform out of the box. Understanding the differences between each manufacturer mean you must understand how to apply the technical features of the product. Then how those features apply to day and night performance, image refresh, recording and live viewing. The results of this test were as follows; 1) Just because it is a 3MP camera doesn't mean you will get more information, 2) There can be big differences between manufacturers especially in low light situations where one can still product a great picture in color and the other must switch to black & white and induce frame integration to keep a good image, and 3) Noice Reduction filtering means a lot with megapixel cameras.
Features such as Auto Back Focus and Super Dynamic must be studied to truly understand why you should install Panasonic.
