Default RE: Moultrie or Stealth digital camera?

ORIGINAL: Buck Magnet

Gotta agree. I owned the Stealth digital and even though I love the Stealth 35mm, I hated the Stealth digital. It was incredibly slow to trigger pics, the pic quality wasn't what I thought that it should be, and it flew through batteries like you wouldn't believe!

Moultrie hasn't had a good reputation when it comes to game cameras. I owned a 35mm from them and it was junk. It became nothing but a pure waste of money.

Right now I am looking into getting a good digital scouting camera and I am steering away from the "normal" cameras. Right now I have two that I am looking at.... the TrailMac Digital and the Camtrakker Digital Ranger. I am leaning towards the TrailMac. I have messed around with the TrailMac and this is top-notch. It features great battery life, awsome picture quality, and a very fast trigger speed. It also has a battery extender system that allows you to customize what batteries you want to use to power the system and even allows for someone to hook up a car battery to power the unit if they want to. The Camtrakker is known for having one of it not the fastest trigger speed, but the only draw back that I see with the Digital Ranger is possibly the flash not being good enough.
The flash on the CamTrakker Digital Ranger is just as good as it is on any of the 35mm or digital units you get from any other manufacturer. The only reason that CamTrakker offers the strobe flash is to really maximize your photo quality at farther distances. We've all got those night shots of a nice buck who is just a weeee bit out of flash range and we'd like it to be a bit brighter. There really isn't any camera with a built-in flash that can give you that, hence the optional strobe. However, for 95% of your photos you're fine with the standard flash that is included.

I've never had the opportunity to test or use any of the TrailMac cams, but I've personally used and seen every camera that CamTrakker makes including the new Digital Ranger and I have to say they are top-notch. The choice is obviously yours, but CamTrakker's been doing it for a long time and they've got great products and awesome customer service. IMO you can't go wrong with them.
