You are measuring something different though: with log analysis you
measure hits to resources on your webserver(s), including images,
downloadable files etc. and from JavaScript enabled browsers as well as
other user agents like search engines, with pixel tracking you are
measuring page views by JavaScript enabled browsers. Both are useful
analyses but you won't get the same type of information.

IBM developerWorks has a good article covering both approaches, see
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-mwt1/


Another article on the differences between the two methods is
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_analytics (much of which I wrote).
