Let's see who is talking crap. Post just ONE image produced by "one of
your many" high-end video cameras so it can be compared with the CCTV
images on www.londoncctv.com.

I think your customers will throw their CCTV cameras into the nearest
garbage bin when they see the quality that an ordinary digital stills
camera can produce when it is connected to a laptop or pc.

So the proof is in the pudding...either put up just ONE quality image
taken with your "mega pixel" cameras, or shut up.

Mega pixel video cameras mean nothing if your shutter speed is stuck at
1/50th of a second, as most CCTV cameras are. That is one reason why
you get such bad quality when using video cameras -they can't capture
people in movement. You just end up with a blur, or pixelation, and
that is even before the video is compressed to the hard drive for
storage.
