First of all I have one of the cheapest cameras that Wal Mart sales and this may be the problem. Does anyone else have trouble with there cameras taking black pictures? I checked mine today and had 300 pictures on it but half of them were just a black screen. It did take some at night and in daylight hours so I really don't know when its giving me problems.Can anyone help me? Is the camera just to cheap?

I can't remember and it's in the woods right now but I think that it says wildlife on the front of it. I payed $50 for it. I know that this doesn't help much but when I check it again I'll let u know the brand.

Well one positive is that you bought it at Walmart, maybe you can return it. Hope you get it worked out.

Probably a Wildgame Camera....Those aren't the best camera's in the world.....the lower the megapixels the worse the quality of the pictures it will take.A Friend of mine just bought a Moultrie D-55IR Camera and it does a very good job of taking pictures,he bought it for $95.99 + tax,it takes 5.0 megapixel pictures and has some real quality pictures for that price.If You shop around You can get one for around $95.00 to $119.00.I think www.rogerssportinggoods.com had them on sale right now and if they are in-stock they offer free shipping too and I have seen also them advertised at www.buchheitsonline.com and our local MFA Feed Store too!

I'm a firm believer that you get what you pay for?
I stick with the $200 cams and higher but the new Primos cams are pretty nice for $100.
I wouldn't personally go any lower than that.

Thanks guys . Pnut, I'm with you. You do get what you pay for and I think that I need to step it up.

I can relate to ya bud...Ive even had those cheap cams on a windy night be set off from wind...I agree with these guys tho...take it back, spend another 50 or so and get a good on...It will be worth it

I had nothing but GREAT SUCCESS with my Moultrie D55 flash, its only 100$ but man does it do the job and the battery life is AWESOME, compaird to the more expesive I40 which is in the 200$ range, man does that one just stink in my opion, had two of them both SUCKED, moultrie is supposed to be sending me an I60 to replace it, that is a 300$ cam that is probably the same parts as the I40,so if your like me and can't AFFORD the high dollor cams, do some research you can find some AWESOME CAMS for around 100$

I'm in the same boat with the WildGame 1.3MP cameras, 2 of the 4 do alright while the other 2 I have are complete junk. Looking to upgrade in the off season & ditch the 4 WildGame's I have.
