does anyone own a reconyx camera and how much do they go for? thanks

RE: Reconyx
 

I don't own one, but I know a guy that does and he says they are the best cameras he has ever used. They are pricey though. They start at about $450.

RE: Reconyx
 

I have one of the RC-55's.

RE: Reconyx
 

they are sweet lookin

RE: Reconyx
 

We are currently testing the RC55. The daytime pictures are better than the previous three IR cams we tested, but the night time IR pics are average to OK among the IR cams. Yes they are expensive.

RE: Reconyx
 

I have the black and white version. I really like it. It is fassssttttttt!! I just wish I could afford 2 or 3 more.

RE: Reconyx
 

I have the black and white version. I love it. Very fast and I like the buckview software that goes with it.

RE: Reconyx
 

is this the one where you can see your pics without going to the woods to retrive them on your comp through wireles network

RE: Reconyx
 

No, I think that is the the buckeye model.

One thing to consider is the memory card that it uses. If I could change anything about this cam that would be it.

THE NEW 60 MODEL FROM THEM LOOKS TO BE ONE OF THE TOP CAMS OUT THIS YEAR...BUT IT'S HARD TO JUSTIFY $600 CAMERAS THAT SIT IN THE WOODS.

RE: Reconyx
 

whats the price list

RE: Reconyx
 

Reconyx is priced anywhere from $400-$600.

RE: Reconyx
 

The new 60 is going to run $600. I look forward to trying one for myself this season. There is no doubt its going to be an outstanding cam!
