You get what you pay for!

jamie,, I had the same trouble out of two of the Stealthcams I tried, it took four tries to get one to work, and it only worked for 6 months, so I took it back and got my money back. Wally world has a Moultrie digital now for 100 bucks and some people say they are ok for the price, they do have a decent trigger time, better then the Leaf River, but the pics dont look to be the best, but for generel scouting, and being on a budget, Id say it would be ok. Dont know of the battery life though, let us know how it works.

OHHHHHH, THATS REAL FUNNY JUSTIN:D

THANKS ANGUS IAM GOING TO TRY TO RETURN IT THIS WEEKEND FOR SOME STORE CREDIT FOR THE DIGITAL CAM!!!![8D]

We had very simular problems with that camera when we first got them. They are picky about how you load the film. There is instructions on how to do it and if you don't follow them closely then it will not rewind or even take pics correctly.

After we started loading them correctly we had no more problems we got 3 of them and they have worked great.

Don't buy chicken sh!t and expect chicken salad............


Save yourself some money down the road and just buy a Cuddeback.

RE: HAD TO GET THIS OF MY CHEST
 

I cant believe how everyone complains about these cameras, I have had 2 of them now, ( lost one when my hunting area flooded) and I have not had any trouble with them, and I think for the money, they take great pictures.

RE: HAD TO GET THIS OF MY CHEST
 

i have had mine for over a year now, never had a problem with it! i do know if u can't fallow instructions u will not like this camera!

RE: HAD TO GET THIS OF MY CHEST
 

I think the Stealth 35mm is a very touchy camera. If you are not precise in following the directions, and loading the film JUST right, it won't work.I also think there are a bunch of them out there that are lemons!

I had 1 that was a lemon, but my other 3 have all worked just fine more or less. Sure, I've had an occasional lost roll of film from not advancing correctly, or from me not rewinding it all the way, but all in all, I have been very happy with them, considering the price.

Here's some of my Stealth pics: http://community.webshots.com/album/211467551eVyYaG

THAT BEING SAID,

I will never buy a Stealth again, and it is ONLY digital cameras from now on!

Within 1 year, I will have saved the money on not buying batteries every 10 days, film, plus film processing; and it will have more than made up for the extra price the digital cost.

Also...INVEST in rechargable batteries ...they will pay for themselves within 3 months usually!

Mines on the way should be here next week.

Now that's what I call profound !
Bwahahahahaha !! Thanks DC , I was having a crappy day until I saw that .

I recently bought and set up a Stealth cam , it took me awhile to figure out why it hadn't fired many shots , and then it wouldn't rewind manually or otherwise . Then the manual rewind button sank in and disappeared ... I'd like to say that I took it in stride , but I'd be telling a serious fib . I only wish that I had taken it back for credit , but in the shape it was in I doubt they would have taken it back. It's a good thing it was cheap .;)

Next victim will be digital .

RE: HAD TO GET THIS OF MY CHEST
 

Yeah, I would take it back and get the slightly more expensive camera. Chances are your luck can't run that bad. [:)

I can't believe soo many guys have had problems with the 35mm Stealth Cams, out of the dozen or so cameras that my buddies and I have bought, none of them had a single problem. Film loading was a little tricky at first, but if you press down fairly hard on the center of the back side of the camera when you load the film, it will advance the roll properly. Manual rewind was another thing we had trouble with till we read the directions and found that the camera had to be in test mode in order for the manual rewind to work. We have thousands of pictures from the units we have had and have got our best quality pics from these units.

On the other hand, the digital Stealth is about the biggest joke of a unit I have seen. Terrible battery life, INCREDIBLY slow shutter speed, and sub-standard picture quality best describe it. The experiences we have had with the Moultrie units have been the same way, they work decent for awhile and then just crash. Heck, the new 35mm Moultrie didn't even make it through a single roll of film. The unit when turned on would simply start snapping picture after picture.

When it comes to 35mm units, the saying "you get what you pay for" isn't entirely true, which shows with the thousands of good game cam pics on here every year that were taken with these units. Now on the other hand, when it comes to digital, that seems to be true, and that is why I dropped the extra cash and got the Trail Mac digital.

You beat me to the punch BM. Some guys really suck at reading directions!:D

RE: HAD TO GET THIS OF MY CHEST
 

I have a Stealth Cam, and it gave me some problems. I haven't had any rewinding problems though, but I always put it on test then hit P, then R, then P, then R until it rewinds.

RE: HAD TO GET THIS OF MY CHEST
 

all about game digital camera i got a picture of a white deer rump thats all you could see the flash didn't work. i upgraded to stealth camera and thats all the money i need to spend no film and i can leave it and it will take up to 1,054 pictures or so. or 10 second vedio i like this camera

RE: HAD TO GET THIS OF MY CHEST
 

I had two stealth cams and both worked OK. Sometimes they were real finicky. I just got tired of them eating batteries, buying rolls of film and getting nothing but rump shots. I bought a Cuddeback and love it. No more film cameras for me.

PS - Unlike most men, I do read the instructions. ;)

RE: HAD TO GET THIS OF MY CHEST
 

thanks guys for your support with the ruff time iam going threw;)i glad we have so many comedians on here!! its all fun and games till someone loses a few rolls of fill

RE: HAD TO GET THIS OF MY CHEST
 

I met a guy who has 3 of them and has had no issues with HIS. They take beautiful pics and for the price of them at Wal-Marts they can't be beat.

RE: HAD TO GET THIS OF MY CHEST
 

this is my 3rd year with my stealth from wally worldand I have never had any problems with it just take it back and get another one.

RE: HAD TO GET THIS OF MY CHEST
 

Sorry guys but I have a Stealth cam 35mm and have taken over 50 rolls of film in the last two years and love it. Keep my fingers crossed I guess.
