Default RE: Which Trail Camera

The 35mm cameras will usually take some of the clearest pictures you will ever see, and you can just scan them into your computer, and then share or whatever you need. However, i would really advise you against getting any 35mm camera unless you can develop your own photos, which few people can. I still have a stealthcam 35mm that i dont use and am going to sell next summer. I didnt get a digital last summer when i bought the stealth because i didnt want to spend the money. However, since then, i have bought two packs of 800 speed film at about $12 a pop, and then have developed those 8 rolls for a total of about $65-$70 to get them all done. With my camera, out of the 24 pictures, usually somewhere between 14-18 would be good, so over time i probably got somewhere between 120 and 140 pictures for about $80. That means was paying, and still would continue to pay about 60 cents per good photo. Since i have got a digital, which was also a cheap one, the Bushnell VGA Trailscout, i have got 168 pictures in the last month and a half. I would say that probably 3/4 of them are good. So in all reality, i have got more pictures with my digital, as i have with my stealthcam...except i didnt have to pay 80+ dollars!! Now i will be honest, the picture quality is not as good as the stealth, but all i want the camera for is to see what is out in my area, which trails are popular, etc. This camera, even though it is only 0.3 megapixels, does everything that i need. I am currently on my second set of batteries, which are 4 "C" batteries, and believe that i probably get 3-4 weeks off of each set of batteries....sorry this is so long, but im just tryin to help!! good luck.
