Best depends on your needs...which you dont mention...they have a q17 camera with a 4/3 sensor 10mp...then there are ptz, or domes etc...

Here are the specifications for the Axis with the 4/3" sensor. The lux ratings do not look all that good considering the size of the sensor.

Keep in mind that manufactures all rate lux differently, so they can be used as a general guide within the same brand but not between brands....

True enough, but that is quite a difference from a Dahua camera with the same size sensor.
Here is the spec sheet for the Dahua camera.

Yes but the dahua does not even provide a distance at which they test...so many variables..

At 1842.99, that is too expensive for me to buy one and play with.

I don't have a need but a want haha. Just want to treat myself with a sought after ip cam and you guys know a thing or two about a highend cam. If you have another brand worth checking out I'm all ears.

Even with high end cams they serve different needs...axis has a 3200 dollar 2mp dome ptz...surely that would be a poor choice for 99.9 percent of applications...
if you just want to piss 2k down the toilet go to a casino....or ask your wife to go to costco....
Many of us already feel like the Dahua OEM cameras sold by @EMPIRETECANDY represent the best overall value in terms of cost and performance day and night and feel like the incremental cost increase for a more expensive camera doesn't equate to the same incremental amount of performance improvement.
Although if Axis made a 2MP 64mm varifocal camera on a 4/3" sensor and could read plates at night in color with very little light, then I may change my mind LOL.

Getting comfortable
Axis do a very good job at performance and quality, but they tend to be late in new technologies. Such as a panoramic + PTZ, which software stitches the panoramic video into a single stream....
Compared to Avigilion; Axis software is far more responsive in my option.
I also think that Axis software also tends to be less buggy and have weird anomalies than Dahua & Hikivison.
I also kind of like the less-vivid color from Axis cameras when you're staring at a video wall for 8 hours.
