I have heard the 5 mp model is more reliable and less likely to have problems. 5 megapixel pictures are all you need. I'd buy the less expensive one for sure. But having said that, I do not own either one. So take it for what it's worth. :twocents:It's true.. I have seen a couple of the 8's glitch.. Se with the real spendy HD ones..
I just bought a couple of the new small moultrie cameras and I like them better then the bushnell.

As far as camo or black goes, get a black one. You can't see the camo if you're protecting your camera. The difference between the two and more would be spent on a lock box and python cable if I were buying the camera.

I have an 8mp, I love it. Either way its a great camera. I'm approaching 9 months of use on ultimate lithiums and the batteries are still reading full charge. But you need a bear box, one bear decide to chew on mine and the box did its job. oh yeah you need to use sandisk SD cards in the camera!!!oh yeah, i would definantly get a bear box and thanks for the sandisk sd card part, that was my next question. and that picture is really nice

You can check my thread in the trail cam or deer section. I began with the 5.0 and after it got eaten I'm now using the more current 8.0 model. You can get a nice little box from Bushnell as well that works pretty good. Keep in mind that the bears will find it and want to bat it around and be a general nuisance. Also, I think that the Bushnell really only likes the Scandisk brand cards. Not sure if the newer models will accept others since I only have the Scandisk cards from when I had the 5.0 model. It is very user friendly, has a good trigger, and knock on wood has been problem free for me so far.good to know thanks!

oh yeah you need to use sandisk SD cards in the camera!!!Why is that?
I have an 8mp and I keep getting pics that are blown out from the IR flash if the subject is within 10' of the camera. Was thinking about covering up some of the bulbs. :dunno:

I biuld some really cool boxes for the Trophy cams. A few members have them. If you send me a PM I can get you some pics. You won't need one of them expensive python locks with my boxes as I use a better and cheaper system.I will vouch for Kris's box :yike:

I use one for my trophy cam. Super easy to setup and aim. No wedging sticks behind the camera to get the angle right. A little on the heavy side, but im pretty sure it could survive a drop out of an airplane. I will try and get some pics of mine when I deploy it this weekend.

I will be gone for over a week. When I get back I can send some pics and info on them to anyone who sends me a PM.
They are around 4.5-5 5lbs and can't be opened with a stick like some cheesy tin boxes.
