i have only really had problems with it facing the sun if the cam is out in the open..or does not have a lot of trees or leaves above the cam..if you set it up in a forest..or hardwoods...you should be fine..if on the edge ofa field where the sun would have direct sunlight into the cam then there will be a set amount of time when the cam will not function properly..IMO
I agree, but it DOES matter model to model. I have seen a couple that are sensitive enough to take one pic a minute for a couple hours while the sun is rising so you are better off pointing the cam away from the sun (ie south) in most situations...unless pretty heavy cover is between the cam and the sun.
i can say that my stealth cams (35mm and i390) have not done this to me at all..the only time i have had a mess up was on two of my 35mm...in 101 degree temps they would take pics of nothing (well wind blowing a bush infront of cam)...but other then that they have never had any problem with the sun causing them to take pics....i have had a pic of a deer with a bad glare (From sun), but it was not because of sun..it was movement by a deer
