Hi all, am interested in buying a trail camera but not sure as to what kind to get so any input would be appreciated. Don't want to spend much over $250-300 total. Kind of like the idea of I.R. with no flash. So lets here it guys. Pro's, Con's ????



Thanks

Because I was new to game cameras, a cheap skate, and because it was advised to not spend much on something that could be stolen . . .
I went with the Moultrie Game Spy 4.0 @ $99.00 a piece. I figured I can buy 2 or 3 for what some others cost.

They don't trigger as fast, or have Infra-red flash, but I did get some nice shots of deer, elk, and me putting them up and taking them down!
I'm pleased and will keep using them. Might even buy a couple more. Battery life seems great. tHE sd CARD (1MEG) hold a boat load of pics. And you can plug it in to your TV in your camper to check photos while in camp!
Worth a try to at least get your feet wet.

Choose from three photo and two video resolution settings. A built-in 1.5" color viewer lets you scan your images in the field. All images are stamped with time, date, temperature, moon phase and barometric pressure. Six D-cell batteries (not included) provide up to 150 days of reliable operation. The infrared flash provides superior illumination in low light and darkness, without the game-spooking effects of a standard white flash. A generous 32MB of internal memory provides ample storage. Supports up to a 4GB SD card (sold separately) that provides additional storage capacity. Laser Aim lets you set and test the camera to determine the precise spot you want captured in your pictures. Includes a security option and a beacon locator with a remote control. Auto-Flash turns off in bright sunlight and automatically activates in low-light or after dark conditions. Also includes a built-in one-second delay, upgradeable software and an external power port. [/align][/align][/align][/align]
