I've gone through the recent 59 series threads, but there are multiple competing interleaving issues discussed in each. Hard to parse out whether the issues are real. The camera seems to be on its 3rd firmware version, but still not working for some.

Can someone more knowledgeable than me, please summarize the issues of these cameras.

From what I gather, the 59 series problems are:
1. Autotracking during day with adequate zoom (can't tell if this is just limited to one poster or is a problem with multiple users). Hard to tell if this was fixed adequately.
2. Image quality at night( low light) - ghosting, blurring
3. Problems with focusing at night (low light)
4. Autotracking at all during night (low light)

It is hard to tell if these issues are endemic to the camera, or there is a selection bias going on.

Is this camera worth around $500? The 49 series also seems to have problems but it is only $350. One guy in the 59 series thread seems to think his Yunch with autotracking is much better and seems similarly priced to the 49 series Dahua.

What is the verdict? Sorry for all the noob questions.

Thanks
