Eh, I'm not sure it's just a half meter, and the 650w isn't THAT much viewing angle extra. I believe the powerruc has a lot more on it even. And I don't care about day, where all cams look good, I'm talking about night. Honestly the 650w looks like crap in those videos and pics, it seems to have roughly the same quality as the much more inferior DL-5. And, it's got that awful darkening effect that the DL-5 has. This isn't some tiny reduction in quality for a huge boost in viewing angle, it's a slight increase in viewing quality and a dramatic reduction in quality:
The VF300w can read the license plate. The GT300w I'm sure can, i think we just can't see it due to angle + headlight issue on white plate, but the DL-5 can't read it and the 650w can't read it. The 650 is the worse off of the bunch.
I think this image is much more dramatic though:
The DL-5 and 650w looks very similar and got that awful tinge to it, like they are in fog. The left 2 images are much clearer.
I mean it's a huge sacrifice in quality for a very tiny viewing angle gain. I agree panorama is important, but you can't just say "I want a $100 panorama cam". A good $100 panorama cam just doesn't exist. If you want panorama, either get the powerruc or... well, live with a sacrifice in quality.
