Need some help.. Trail Cameras
I have a stealth cam IR and I hate it. I watched 7 deer in my yard and not one picture.. (Yes I know how to set it up)
My question is.. What camera should I get? I want nice clear pictures, Really, I want pictures! Like to have a IR one. Cuddeback Capture IR? Give me all your guys opinions on any of them Thanks for your time Jeff

My SG560 has been a great camera. This is a good site to check out for reviews as well as help: http://www.chasingame.com/index.php?id=139

IDK about the Bushnell, though it has great range, awesome detection.
I just think night pics are lacking in quality when compared to white flash cams.
I've got a 6yr old Moultrie that takes better night pics than my Bushnell.
But range, detection and battery life of the Moultrie are abysmal when compared to the Bushnell.
Take a look at my albums, compare ir to incandescent flash.
Moultrie
Moultrie again
Bushnell
And random Bushnell pic showing the detection range and trigger speed.

I currently own 2 Reconyx HC 500s and 2 Moultrie I-40s. If you can afford a Reconyx camera buy one. You won't be making a mistake. Otherwise I would look for a Moultrie. I have owned cameras made by Cuddeback, Recon Outdoors, Trailtimer, beside the brands I currently own. The Cuddebacks were terrible in the cold Wisconsin winters. The Recon Outdoors cams had terrible batterylife but took pretty clear pictures and the Trailtimer cams were 35mm. I have found by my own use and speaking with other trail cam users that you get what you pay for. Personally I will be buying more Reconyx cams in the future, as I get the money. I look at it as an investment as Reconyx cameras are consistantly rated #1 which helps maintain the value of used cameras in case you want to sell.
