Hi Guys:

Looking at buying two or three trail cams and would like some advice. They don't really need to shoot video, just looking for a nice clear picture day or night, time/date stamp, and something with a quick trigger speed. Price is a consideration, but don't want to buy cheap junk. Just a good reliable unit that won't spook the game. Welcomming any reccommendations of good units and advice on what to aviod. Thanks in advance.

Bruce

Acouple of my friends swear by the spy points. One guy has em set up on all his bear baits and he gets great shots, I have tried but get lousy shots/ blank shots with the bushnell cams...

I have the Moultrie D55IR and like it well enough with no complaints. I got it on sale at CT for $130, regular $200. Check out the trail cam 2010 thread at the top of the list and look at the different pictures from different guys cameras. If you see a set that looks good, maybe ask them what they have. I gotta admit, I do like the colour night pics. Mine only takes colour shots in the daylight, black and white at night. Chances are, the better the pic, the higher the price though.

Pics look good on your Moultrie, Adventure. I see BPS has them on sale for $99, but probabley higher in TO. Cabela's has them for the same price you paid, which is still pretty reasonable.

Grizz and Catcher also have some good looking pics on there as well. Mind telling us what your using??

Thanks,

Bruce

My pics are from a Spypoint. Infared is always black and white you need a flash for colour. Stay away from Stealth Cam . Junk.

Here are a couple pictures from my new Bushnell Trophy Cam. The quality of the day time shots is the best I have seen, the video is not as good a quality of the pictures but that is to be expected from any digital camera. I would highly recomend this one. Very easy to program with the LCD screen and the best part it is less than half the size and weight of all the others and it is only $150.oo. My other camera is $100 at bass pro and the extra $50 is well worth it, way more otions and settings and very easy to program. These are on the 8m setting it does 3 5 and 8 meg pix. This website requires you to shrink the pictures, but the actual size when viewed on my computer is really good. Out of 289 pictures in 4 days I never had any blanks. Any one that talks about blank is not setting the sensitivity properly, I tried this camera on Normal the first time and no problems. Lots of pictures of squrrels, blue jays, raccon etc. but no blanks. I did have take 3 shots at once as well. My other camera is a Moultree good working but doesn"t compare.
Hope this helps
