Title: GREAT cam for $76
Post by: yakimanoob on May 08, 2018, 08:35:40 AM: Just FYI everyone, the Bushnell Essential E2 trail cams are on Amazon for $76 right now.

My wife got me one two years ago, and most recently it spent a winter pointed at an elk carcass in video mode (yes, I will post some of that separately ;)). 4.5 months out, 4+ hours of video in mostly sub-freezing temps, and battery meter still ran full.

You can't beat this camera for $76. Period.

Post by: yakimanoob on May 09, 2018, 12:00:16 PM: I'm seeing the $147 price now too. I bought one for $76 bucks yesterday though -- I guess they sold a bunch fast and got rid of the sale.

Amazon prices are ephemeral things.

:yeah:

I don't know exactly what changed from the E2 to E3, but if it's anywhere close, that's still a great price. My browning cameras were around that same price, and I regret buying them.

Just ordered one of these with a 32 GB card. I already have a couple other cheaper cams that work great so I'm interested to see what I consider to be a higher end cam will do.

I wonder if they will fit in the standard bushnell bear box?

Got rid of my non cellular Brownings and went to the Bushnells. If these E@ and E3's are as good, that's a great price.
