The trigger speed seemed to work well, and the pictures I had were better than my Tascos, and Trophy cam. I feel like it's a pretty good deal. I will Know more this weekend.

I own the above mentioned cams and I am not impressed with them..I have more issues with the Bushnell not taking pics cause of cards or just doesnt work..the Tascos dont always work and the switching between IR and regualr pics is slow, so I get lots of super dark pics. I have some wildgame innovation cams and they so far have been hands down the best cams i have! and I paid $50 for them. I also have a wildview IR 8mp and so far its been great and was $100 with batts and a SD card:yeah: I have seen some of your pics huntnnw. My next cameras will be wildview and wildgames. Have you tried the stealth cam that i mentioned? The trophy cams are a big dissapointment, and way over priced.

For $50 right now I would buy either a Tasco white flash camera from Wal Mart, or a Primos Truth Cam 35 from Natchez Shooters Supply (refurbished.)
For a little more money I might get the Moultrie D55 that Amazon has for $71.89, free shipping. That's a pretty decent camera for the price.

I havent tried any stealths in a long time...I had some moultries and they always worked..I have a 7 yr old moultrie that still works perfect to this day
I'm betting it's a D-50. I still run a couple of those and they are hands down the best camera I've ever used in the $50 range. Only downfall is size and 8 D batteries. They out preform many of my other cams that were three times the price. :twocents:

FYI, the Tulalip Cabela's has the Wildgame 6's with 4mb SD card and eight batteries for $139. With the price of battries these days (plus the SD card), that's about $100 bucks for camera.

This is moultrie for a really good price. He also has the bushnell in his ebay store for 146 ish to your door.
Oh Yeah....and both these cams take 8 AA batteries. I buy costco batteries and use in mine and usually 48 AA batteries cost me around 20 dollars and will last me all year for three cams. The cams mentioned above are really easy on batteries. My bushnell took 6000 pics in the 13-14 days this year and still had full battery life. It will truely last 6-8 months. Night quality will go down well before the batteries stop die so base replacement of batteries on quality of night photos. There is something to be said for how much the batteries cost so don't buy a cheap camera for 70-100 dollars with D or C batteries....you will end up paying more in the long run. :twocents:

I have one Bushnell trophy cam, one Moultree D55, two Wildgame 6mp's and just bought another Wildgame 5mp last night. The Wildgame 5 was only $89.00. Tried it at home last night and takes great pics. I like the Wildgame cameras for their size, but only takes pics at minimum of 15 second intervals. Bushnell takes best pics and has burst mode. Moultree takes great pics too, but seems a little slow to wake up compared to other cams.

I got my Wildgame 3mp IR and SD card for $65 from Midway 2 years ago. Takes great pictures. I got rechargeable batteries to try this year. Buying batteries all the time will break you after a while.

On a side note I can't believe how many people support those *censored*s from wildgame innovations. :chuckle:

Im pulling my card from my tasco on Sunday its been in the elk hunting area for about a month now. I will hopefully post pics sunday night. Im thinking the more cameras you have in the woods the better.
That's my theory. I'm running 5 right now. I need more though :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Along with the D-50 I've been running 4 of the $50 Tascos from Wallmart. I like the fast trigger speed and battery life (~90 days on 4 C's) they work pretty well and take decent pictures. They only have the option for a single shot which is the thing I dislike about them the most. I've had one go down on its own this year (bad sensor) another get bitten by a bear and yet another take pics tons of pics of nothing. I just purchased 4 more from Midway USA for $33 and they came in the mail Friday.
Along with the two remaining Tascos from the original fleet and the 3 new I purchased two Moultrie LX30ir's which are on their first soak. One thing I noticed on the LX30ir's is that the shutter is really noisy when it takes pics which may be a serious issue. I did like the fact that they took 4 C batteries and had options down to 1 minute delay between pics. I am pulling them next weekend after 3-1/2 weeks over my salt so we shall see. I will be setting one on video mode next soak.

Go Moultrie all the way- better options and better pictures. Price is good as well.
Doesn't have to be the best most expensive camera to let you see animals where you want to hunt. :twocents:

It was from walmart and is a smaller cam about the same size as the M80
I'll be buying more M80's for sure, really pleased with it so far. The video (with sound) even plays nice, it snaps a pic first then takes video up to 30 seconds.
The 3 picture burst is very nice, when you got 300 pics of one deer in 3 pic bursts its like watching a movie when you scroll through :tup:

I would not recommend it if you are going to put it up anywhere that there is any possibility of someone getting to it. It is very expensive. Closing in on 400 bones after tax for the initial kit. :(
The quality of the pics, videos and variety of settings is top notch. The casing has held up to several bear gnawing on it without even a tooth mark. Just wish it was cheaper. Extra cams to go with the controller/viewer run more than most other complete cam set-ups.

I got a bushnell trail cam soaking right now in the same spot I had the moultrie M80 soaking, I couldn't find a 3 pic burst mode on the bushnell either :dunno:
Must be the "Trail Sentry." I think it's the same, or at least similar to, the Tasco.

The cameras I currently buy are the Moultrie and the Wild Game innovations... I generally get the models between 100-130 range.

mini cams are the way of the future. All the quality of larger cams with cheaper batteries and increased convenience/ease of use. I have a truth 46 and it pales in comparison to the quality of my cousin's m80's.

I really really like my Moultrie M80, great day and night pics and decent trigger speed, it's been very reliable and has great battery life.
If anyone is looking for a Bear box for there M80/M100 or other brand cams check this guy out
http://www.custom1enterprises.com/custom1enterprises_010.htm (http://www.custom1enterprises.com/custom1enterprises_010.htm)
I have made bear boxes in the past but cant come close to this guy's prices and have it be worth my time.
He sells his M80/M100 boxes for $50 shipped, really well made from lazer cut 1/8 steel. Ordered mine on a Wednesday and had it in my mail box on Saturday.
