How does Cateye CC-RD200 compare with Sigma Sport BC16.12 16 Function Bicycle Computer? I like the large readout on Sigma. Any thoughts?

I'm not familiar with the sigma however the cateye is small and the digits on the second line is also quite small and can be a bit challenging to read on the fly

Read out is big, which is good for me. However the installation was too difficult. I returned it.

If large readout is the most important feature for you then LOL, my local bike shop won't sell them. They have a box full of returned units that failed. I've had zero problems with my Cateye, If you need a bigger display Bontranger has some good models.

The Sigma is a fish eye (180 degrees diagonal viewing angle) , while the Canon is an extreme wide angle (no fish eye distortion) and therefore much more expensive.

I just sold my older tamron 70-200 and got this newer version. If you do sport, I say yes it is worth it. The faster focusing motor helps for tracking and the VC here is unbelievable. If you shoot portrait, other still photography in good light then the IQ isn't much difference. This is my action sport lens, the newer version taht I couldn't afford with the nikon VR2 model. I could of gotten a used older vr1 version.

Sighthound Video (formerly Vitamin D). Very pleased with it. I tested Blue Iris and several others, but found Sighthound to be the most useful -- notably what i considered to be the best workflow and the best at configuring and detecting useful alerts (not too many, not too few). Runs flawlessly with a half dozen high def cameras (consumes about 10%-20% of an i7). I recommend giving it a try (there is a free trial version).

J. ONeill says: Did you make a decision? I am currently debating the same two lenses. I am leaning towards the Canon since it seems there are quite a few quality/AF issues with the Sigma. Any advice is appreciated. If you own a camera with micro focus adjustment like the 50D or 7D, Sigmas front or back focusing is a non-issue. Also, even if you don't own a camera with micro focus adjustment, if you get a Sigma lens that front or back focuses, you can send it to Sigma for calibration.

Matthew, Sigma has released information of a replacement lens which will hit the market towards the end of March. the lens is priced at $499 and boasts significant upgrades to almost every aspect of the lens. With that being said the price of this version of the lens has been slashed (lucky people like me found it for $289). I would consider your need for this type of lens. Most of the bad reviews come from earlier models of this particular version (matted black Vs smooth black). The defective lens's rightfully so get poor reviews, however the functioning models get high praise. I have tested the sharpness and autofocus and my unit is perfectly fine. I decided that $500 was too much for a new lens and $289 was a bargain for its older brother. If you look around you may still find that clearance price. I hope this helped!

Software is not mac compartable but this may help http://www.physics2000.com/Pages/MacScope.html suppose to be very similar but not exact. Hope that helps.

I own the 18-250mm and it is really sharp and a good lens. I was very surprised. Not sure of the Sigma but I know with the Tamron it is a bargain at that price.

No, the Padrone is a "New" model, wider & thicker than the other CatEye Computers. Suggest you contact manufacturer for new kit options

Thank you technology guy. Someone I know also said to look at the Metz 50 AF -1 50311C. Do you know anything about it and, if not, would you be willing to look at its specs on Amazon and give me your thoughts? I very much appreciate your help

sorry i cannot help you, i bougth the wrong station, i cannot use it with the computer i have (BC 1609), by the way i think you should consider other computer brands, im not happy with this Sigma brand, the support is not very good, the software sucks, and the buttons are flimsy.

Although I have both Tamron and Sigma lenses, I prefer using Sigma. Better clarity, better constructed.

The canon has 1.2 vice 1.4 and slightly less chromatic aberration (purple color fringing) when wide open. The sigma is much faster to focus and just as sharp. It's not so much a "quality" as paying a premium for the canon L red ring and the extra glass needed to achieve 1.2.

I have not had a chance to compare both but this sigma is the first non canon lens I have put in my bag. Have 6 different ones and the sigma is a great value. I have not regretted it.

I'm sorry but I don't know. I sent my BC20 back because the video was very poor, even in close proximity to the receiver. I understand that Garmin has made some recent improvements in this system but I don't know the latest owner evaluations. Good luck with your purchase.

Sorry don't know-may have to contact cateye directly. Paperwork says it's compatible with many heart rate monitors.

I just received the model 365, the impact model. I think. It is the bmx one, same as for snow goggles, but with a nose guard. They were on sale at woot for 85 bucks. Anyhow, the lcd screen is merely a status screen, it tells if you are recording, no video. Also, I have looked at the spec sheet, and I don't see any optical zoom. Huh? Haven't tried it yet.
