Looking to get my first trail cam? What would be a better purchase a Refurbished Moultrie Game Spy M80 5.0MP IR Mini Camera  or the Moultrie D-55IRxt Game Spy Digital Camera, 5.0 MP. It seemslike the M80 is refurbished but people have positive reviews. but Rodgers sporting goods website has 2 other Moultrie cameras for just 10dollars more that dont seem to be refurbished, the regular price is like $130 dropped to 70bucks. Any thoughts

I don't know which one would be better. They both have pretty good reputations for being reliable cameras. I would recommend getting one of each. That's the only way to find out which one you like better.

New SD card right out of the package, Formatted. New Batteries right out of the package. I got 2 days worth of battery life and Im back at 10% :bash: Really irritating.
Looks like I have myself my first official 80$ paperweight.

I would think Primos would provide at least a 90 day warranty on refurbished cameras. The reburbished Moultrie M80 I bought has a 90 day warranty. I know some of the Primos refurbished cams used to come with a 1 year warranty. Didn't you buy it from Natchez? If so I would contact them and ask about a warranty. They might let you send it back to them since it hasn't worked from the beginningl If not, Primos should cover it.

It came with a little orange paper saying primmos offers a 90 day warrenty but since I bought it through natchez I didnt think that would be valid. But i guess natchez wouldnt of sent it if it wasnt valid now that i think about it. But I dont have any paperwork for the camera besides the order and shipping emails from them. Never had to return/send anything back through a website so kinda unsure on what I need to do or who I need to contact. I ordered it in mid december so Im still well within the 90 day warrenty.

I would call Natchez. Here is what I would suggest- ask Natchez if you can get it replaced with the "old" Truth Cam 35. It's bigger than the new "ultra" Primos cams, but it's a reliable camera. And they have it brand new for $74.99. Isn't that only $5 more than you paid for the ultra 46? Also it will have a 1 year warranty. I've got one and I really like it. It's one of my favorite cameras, and I have about 8 or 9 different kinds.

Here's a link to it on the Natchez site:  http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=py63010&src=tpSlrByr19


I'd just hate for you to go through the hassle of having your current camera replaced with a new one, just to have it not work either. (I've read many bad reviews on the Primos ultra cams)

One thing I noticed on my old camera it specified SD Cards.  My new camera specifies SDHC Cards.  Don't know if it makes a difference, but SDHC Cards are all there is now, it seems.  I'm about the least tech savvy guy on earth!  :dunno:

bobcat-
I was about to pull the trigger on an M80 when I noticed it said it doesn't come with the cable or software.  Do you need some special software to view the pictures on your computer?  Thanks in advance!
