anyone else?

I am with Huntnnw on this one.  If you are getting tons of pics other than animals you most likely have a bad camera or a bad setup.  I will let you make the call.  Mine are setup to take a pic every minute when something is in front of it and I usually get 1200-1600 pics every three weeks on most of my cams.  All but a couple are animals.

YUP! I even have small trees that blow around in front of some not to include all the tree limbs in the proximity of the sensor that move with the wind and yet I dont get a bunch of nothing pics

You obviously don't know what your talking about or doing huntnnw! You read it here!!! 
Since you are all talk and never post or show anyone any of your pics.

You mean trail cameras are to get pics of animals, not grass and tree limbs? Whoa now...

    is it legal to tell us which cameras take pics of trees and limbs.  am still looking for a camera.  am leaning toward a bushnell 12 mp trophy.  is it correct that I want the biggest, baddest card(the 28 g) for the cam?   mike w

My favorite are wild game innovations lights out cams. I typically run a 4 gig cards and get 2700-2800 pics on them. The cams usually run $120 ish and cards are cheap on Amazon. No real need for a 28 gig card.

Just ordered a 32 GB card so I too can have 1.5 million pictures of developing leaves and grass blades.

As far as megapixels go, I'd say it's all about what you want.  Do you want beautiful pictures of branches or just so-so ones?  As long as the camera performs well otherwise, I am perfectly fine with 5MP.

Overall I would say this...I have never been disappointed with the performance of an expensive ($150+) camera but have been widely disappointed in the cheap ones.

I would say get 2 lower end mp trailcams with smaller memory cards.  Two is better than one top of the line in my mind since allows me to scout more areas.  Depends though on cost of the 12mp. Also depends on quality of pics you want though, but 5 and 8mp work awesome for me.  I run bushnells and I do like them mainly for their battery life.  I am having issues with some now but have had them for 5 years.

 I need one of these trailcams that take pics of trees and leaves so I don't have to look at animals on every picture like mine are now.

low MP (and price) on a well functioning camera is a win.  Emphasis on the well functioning part of the equation.

anyone else?

I will vouch for huntnnw and say you're wrong, Steve. I have cameras in uncut CRP fields. If anyone was going to get 4000 pics of grass blowing in the wind, it'd be me, and it's not happening.

I will add that I would never spend the money to buy 32gb sd cards either unless you've got a solar charger battery pack hooked up to your camera and you plan to leave it out for a whole year.
8gb in all of the cameras I have.

I have a 6mp Bushnell that takes lots of pics of nothing - but it takes OK pictures of game too:

The nicer Bushnell Trophy cameras are spot on with no dry-fires and all the newer Moultrie cameras have given me the same result.

I agree with huntnw too. I had a couple of cheap cameras a few years ago that would get me thousands of pics of wind shots. I have Bushnell 8mp cameras now in those same locations and two years later Ive only gotten animals on them.
