RE: Stealth Cam MC2-G
VA:
I bought a MC2-B earlier this year. I think it's the same one you are looking at but it's camo.
Anyway, if I were to do it all over again, I'd have spent the extra money for a digital camera. I've encountered a few problems with the film model. One is that you don't know what's on the film until you get to a developer. What kind of pictures are on the film would have an impact on where I put the camera.
Also, I've spent more on film and developing (and batteries) than the extra money it would have cost to get a digital. With a digital, I THINK you can take the chip to be processed if you don't want to store the images on your computer.
As far as the quality of the pictures - they are great. It's a 35mm camera using color film and a flash. The flash doesn't seem to bother the deer (and the dogs and racoons) either.
I did encounter one technical problem. I went to pick it up on Saturday after it was oout for two weeks. The very first image was of a fawn and all of the rest of the pictures appeared to be of nothing. And the counter maxed out at 99. I have no idea why it started taking pictures and didn't stop!
