This is all true, but I have a preference for Hitachi Cameras.  Their
Saticon tube cameras have excellent image quality, even though they
tend to be larger than most other cameras.  Very rugged.
Also, the JVC Saticon cameras with the switchable sensitivity setting
is good for indoor available light work.

Both VERY good.

(Don't every buy a camera with a Nuvicon tube in it!)
