For the best video and image quality, the BB-HCM581 is the right choice – e.g. for broadcasting Events. And if price is the most important consideration then BL-C1 is the right choice – e.g. for home security & monitoring. BL-C131 (and BL-C111) falls in the middle – with a good price and good set of features, it is the choice for mainstream applications.
The other factors that may be important for your application

* optical zoom – 21x (581), don’t care (131, BL-C1)
