If they're anything similar to the Bushnell Trophy Cams in terms of quality you'll be happy! Only thing that turns me off about this camera, or I'd be buying one myself, is the damn D-cell batteries.

Natchez Shooters has them for $89.95.  Not quite as good a deal, but still good.  Bushy must be going to upgrade the model.

trail cameras in general seem to get the most mixed reviews of any hunting gear.   :chuckle:  It's not a good enough deal for me to be spontanious but if it was for the price that yoter hunter got his for i would snag up one or two.

The moultrie D40's and D50's are a lot better and you can get them for about that price. They have a lot more features and are easier to use.  :twocents:

I bought one last time they were on sale at camofire, and the next day went to sportmans wherehouse (whatever it's called) in federal way and say the same camera for 114.00.  Camo fire ups the retail price a bit I think.

I have one. I bought rechargable batteries and a solar panel. Mine works fine.

how much did the solar panel upgrade run you? how much light does it need to keep the batteries going?

I think it was maybe $50. I just googled and looked until I found it cheap. I used it last winter with the panel pretty much directly in the sun with no problems. My batteries are the 5000 mAH. The batteries hold a charge because of the storage capacity. I got them at Radio Shack. Not a lot of choices for shopping here.

Just checked for you. Amazon has the solar panels for $43.21 with free shipping.

I did a quick Froogle/Google and it looks like there's a few e-merchants out there that beat the price. At least one, however, was a refurb. Caveat emptor as always.
