I'm using the
Tasco 5MP IR, cost me 99$ but is now being sold for 89$
In my opinion, and this is based on 3 of us getting 4 of these things alltogether, it's great value for the money.
It has pitfalls, like it has trouble with light compensation, early morning sunrise and at sunset (There are just a few minutes where the sunlight is just all wrong for it...so you get a pic...but it's hard to tell what it is without tweaking the pic) Also in VIDEO mode you don't get a time stamp...which sucks. But in PIC mode you do.
But for me, 99$ was a great price for what it does...plus I don't live on the property I hunt...so it can stay there a couple weeks at a time and not get checked...so if somebody decides to mess with it and take it...I'm down 99$ not 300$ AND I haven't changed the batteries yet and it's been a bit over a month. (will be switching them out this weekend though...)
My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world. - Honourable John Gilbert "Jack" Layton (July 18, 1950 – August 22, 2011)
