Cameras I have (had)
Bushnell: never worked, even right out of the box.
Stealth cam: Worked great for 6 months then quit
Moultrie A5: works good after 1 year, low quality pics, long battery life, sensitive motion sensor, lots of blanks
Moultrie A5" worked good for about 2 years, low quality pics, long battery life, sensitive motion sensor (Stolen)
Moultrie A7, Works great, I cant view the pictures in the field on my digital camera (only complaint)
CuddeBack Attack Black Flash: Works Good after 3 years, High quality pics, and good battery life, the motion sensor is not sensitive enough. I get almost no blanks but I kind of feel like I might be missing some critters.
The Cuddeback is perfect if I use it in a close quarters area like on a trail in the brush, but they cost $200 ish. Maybe the new Long range ones are the ultimate trail camera? The A5's have great range and battery life but low quality pics, and lots of blanks, However sorting through all the blanks isn't that bad when I am sure I am not missing any critters, and they can be ordered for about $50 bucks. All things considered: I don't think I will be buying anything but the Moultrie A5's in the near future. I can stick them in a clear cut for a few months and not lose sleep at night.
