I was looking at the specifications and I saw this for minimum illumination. Looks very promising.

It's to big for me to say to my better half. "Oh honey that camera has been there you just didn't notice it following you around"
And by the third night on the couch, I would get comfortable.

Even better when you have her hold it up there for you to install LOL.

Only $1.9k/ea.? Pffft....chump change.......I need 12 of those to monitor my front door.......
LOL. While not the price of the 49225 PTZ, there are some existing models that come close in price to this new one. I was actually thinking it was going to be over $3k.Only $1.9k/ea.? Pffft....chump change.......I need 12 of those to monitor my front door.......

I do have an application on my farm where I could utilize the 40X optical zoom. My current 30X has a 5.9-177mm optical zoom and this new camera has a 6-240mm optical zoom. I am just having reservations on the cameras ability to illuminate well enough in a zero lux situation, which is what I have on my farm at night, to pull the trigger on a $1,900.00 camera right now.

No Dahua want to sell you all there old tech first before they bring a 1/1.2" PTZ unlike Hikvision which is now on there EOL ( End Of Line )
Dahua still want to sell you 1/1.8" &1/2.8" sensors.EMPIRETECANDY

This camera is not old tech, its price higher than the 1/1.8cmos 4K one even it's a 4mp, will see the review at the end of June or early July.

Might be a better and a much fairer comparison with the new Hikvision TandemVU but I would always still go for the older darkfighter DS-2DF8836IX-AEL(W) which has a excellent 2/3 cmos sensor and 8mp and separate fixed cameras.

Getting the hang of it
The problem with ds-2sf8c442mxs-dlw is it's $3k USD state side. Also, it doesn't support POE because of it's 70w requirement.
As for DS-2DF8836IX-AEL(W), it's sensitivity (spec sheet) isn't as good as the Dahua. It's also $3k for whatever reason from a cursory search.

I wouldn't say it is a "problem" with the not having POE feature and running a separate power supply for most situations wouldn't be a problem.
The DS-2DF8836IX-AEL(W) would be in a different league to the NEW Dahua I would think ask Parley he has a Dahua with a 2/3 sensor and can be had on eBay Uk as a demo model for less than 1k
I would ALWAYS take a 2/3 sensor no matter what the sensitivity is over a 1/1.8" or 1/2.8" sensor and out the 3 mentioned above I would still go for the DS-2DF8836IX-AEL(W) for my situation and environment , your needs might be different.
Price difference I have no control over sorry but I know it is VERY expensive to send or receive parcels now from over the pond as my cousin now lives in Houston Texas.

Shame on them and more money to be made on 1.1.8" & 1/2.8" I suppose the reason why?
