RE: Comparing digital trail cams (The POST To End All POSTS)
Thanks torecurver67 for our4thpost.
Brand & Model: MOULTRIE GAMESPY 1.3 megapixiels
Link: blank
Cost: 179.95 from Cabela's last year
Battery Quantity & Size: 6 volt lantern battery
Battery Life: 3 to 4 weeks with warm weather or 400 to 500 pics with rechargables.Don't know about cold temps yet.With cheap battery about 250 pics or 1 week in cold.
Trigger Speed: In warmer temp it is slower(4 to 5 seconds)I would guess.
Trigger Distance: It seems to be about 25 to 30 yds depending on the temp. It will miss or catch part of animal in warmer weather but not always.
Resolution: 1.3 M.P
Memory: 16 mb internal or SD memcard external.With a 128 mb card it about holds 300 pics on high res.
Picture Viewer: Only with card reader(sold seperately).
Security: Small cable and lock supplied.(It's a joke)
Strap: The mounting system is a joke,supplied are two shoe strings with little stops.
Good Qualities: With the Moultrie's cost being half what others sell for I bought another one.I have less than $ 300 in 2 cams,2rechargable batteries and 2 128mb mem cards. The pic quality is good on high res and as a scouting tool they're perfect.I have not had any problems with either cam other than being a little slow at times.If you take a little time in the setup it will improve the pic quanity and quality .I believe for the price you can't go wrong.
Bad Qualities: These cams can be a pain to setup with the junk mounting system.The supplied cable and lock could be cut with a pair of wire cutters.
Happy with purchase: Overall I'm happy with the cams,the price and a product that works.It's a afforbable scouting tool that tells you what your scouting for.The only thing I would change is the mounting and that I'm working on.I think the pic quality is good and improves with creative setups.I will buy another when I can afford one.
