Man, thanks for doing all this. I know it was probably a labor of love but still it's alot of work. I like the Predator daytime pics and the Wildgame innovations IR pics the best. I also liked the Spypoint daytime pics over the Bushnell. I thought they had better contrast and clarity. It sounds from your review though, that Bushnell's detection and trigger speed was superior to all of them. While I really want the best pic I can get, you still have to get a pic in the first place. What you wrote about the Predator's trigger time is dissaponiting because that is an expensive camera and the only thing it seemed to have going for it was it's picture quality.

Here are the three pictures that the Bushnell took and the Predator never detected.
The poor little guy didn't make it too far before an owl got him.

There definitely is a big time quality difference.





And also a big difference in detection/trigger speed.

But I am still amazed of the clarity, brightness, and colors of the predators pictures.

This is one of my all time favorite pictures that I got and I would love to see how the Predator would have took the picture.

I also reset the Predator and Spypoint with the Bushnells to videos mode for the next test.

I have the Xc6, and like it. Am using it in video mode, the quality of pics( if deer are standing still) and video are much better than the Bushnell, In Pic mode if deer are moving the blur is unacceptable. Trigger speed is slower than the bushnell but if the camera outlast the bushnells than its a decent buy.

OK, pulled the cards today from the Wildgame and the Bushnell.
These were set on picture mode.
Bushnell reacts faster, but not by much.
Wildgame colors and detail are better, but take alot of images ( animals ) blurry.
Wildgame has much brighter IR for night time pictures, but the Bushnells allow you to see deeper into the woods.
Here are same pictures from each camera followed by some of the blurry one from the Wildgame.
All in all, the Wildgame is a great camera for the money and has taken the best videos of any camera that I have tried.

The Predator and Bushnell were on video mode this week.
Activity was light again, but this is what I got.
You can compare these videos to each other.
The Predator took 12 and the bushnell took 17.
The bushnell videoed a doe in the day that never triggered the Predator and a cat at night which also never triggered the Predator.
These are the corresponding videos from both cameras.
The Bushnell triggered first in every video.

Here are the two videos that the Predator never triggered on.

Next is the Spypoint and a Bushnell.
Well, no activity here at all.
Only videos are of me walking out after setting the cameras and me walking in to get the cards.
But, you can compare the videos for yourself.

Oh, and I figured out how to set the Predator to do a 3 picture burst and longer video.
It is set on 3 picture burst now in a different spot.
Hopefully some cool pictures.
