Oh Sony, always got to be showing people up. Okay, we'll admit, these little guys are much more attractive than
D-Link's DCS-5300G network security cam (in that
displaced eyeball kind of way), and they also have 802.11b capable versions, too (SNC-M1W and SNC-M3W). Otherwise, the
M1 has tilt, while the M3W tilts and pans (we presume both have zoom), and both are capable of recording MPEG4 (VGA at
15fps, QVGA at 30fps) streams and JPEG directly to the network. Now if only you'd bring some of this crap to America,
ok?

Neither of these cameras has any optical zoom. You could, of course, zoom images digitally but that sort of defeats the purpose.

dont waste money on these.. i bought the SNC-M1.. it sux. quality is horrible. the software included doesnt even let you rotate the camera , and worst of all.. the size is HUGE. they arent small enough to be considered 'cute' or sexy.. or stylish...
if you want to buy it, open it nicely and dont lose the receipt because it is very likely you'll return it.
