wich trail cam?

Post by ginger-englishman »

after searching both bass pro and cabelas because things are so much cheaper in the usa for whatever reason than over here in the uk,i cant decide on a trail cam because of the varied reviews im looking to spend no more than 200 dollars and was hoping some of you guys could help before i go ahead and make a purchase,

My bushnells work great but there are other good ones as well. Many things to look at eg. trigger speed, IR range, Mp, recovery time, battery life, Field of view and a number of others. Trailcampro.com and chasingame.com are good site's to look at for camera comparisons.

Hey BPS has the Primos 35 on sale for $99. Great camera we have had no issues with it. Great pics and good battery life. We also have a Wildgame camera. The first one did not work and was returned with no issues. The replacement works great. No complains about it either. Good luck with which ever camera you decide on.

I dnt have alot of experience with trail cams, I had an old one that used those big stinkin square flashlight batteries that only seemed to last a week, and became so discouraged I never ended up using much. I currently have the bushel trophy cam and this things a pure joy to use and operate. It does take the odd white out picture, but I believe that has more to do with what direction it's pointing. & Battery life is great on this thing!

I like my Cuddeback captures. They take color pics both day and night.
You can get factory refurbished ones for $100 on ebay.

Have 2, 8 mp Bushnell XLT's , 1 scoutguard 5 mp and an FLA spypoint 4 mp . All of these cameas have served me well . Battery life is very good . The Spypoint is probably the best camera of the 3 for the price . I paid $ 46 Can $ for it brand new in the box . Gander Mountain sells a similar ( newer model spypoint ) one for about $100 US $

All of the cameras have taken thousands of pictures .

Go to www.chasingame.com for reviews on just about every camera. You can also read the reviews of customer's on BPS and Cabela's web site. For the most part, the reviews on the dealer sites mirror chasingame reviews.
