Re: Camera: M1011 versus 206 ? Any Camera ?

The 206 is discontinued. I'm sure they are available from teams and perhaps other web locations. The M1011 is actually cheaper than the 206 was, and compares well to the 206.

My observations:
The 206 has a manual focus lens, the M1011 is a fixed focus. For FRC, the M1011 is better.
The 206 seems to be a bit better with low light, possibly due to the aperture size of the fixed lens.
The M1011 supports more compression formats (which are not used by FRC).
The M1011 is slower to return JPEGs, but all of the WPILib was changed to use MJPG by default, and that is the same.
The M1011 reset button is far less likely to get pressed by accident.
Both are good IP cameras for the money. They are pretty successful for security, and I've seen them at the mall in the interactive kiddy games. The games where the kids splash around in the projected water or kick the projected can/balls/objects.

A camera is a sensor, so the rules are pretty open. WPILib source can be adapted to other cameras, but it is very unlikely that it would work without modification.
