Default Trail Camera Selection Advice

I am getting ready to purchase my first trail camera. I am looking at the Bushnell Trophy Cam HD Max or the Reconyx HC600.

Is the Reconyx worth the extra money?

Thanks,
Jeff

I own a reconyx hc500 and it is worth every penny, it is like watching a slow moving object with its pic taking ability and the durability and battery life is unbelievable. In my opinion if a person has the funds to purchase one do it and you will be really happy. I have heard great things about the bushnell also and you can get two bushnells for one reconyx. I think you can't go wrong either way. Scoot

I have both cameras and there's no comparison, there's nothing like a Reconyx. The Bushnell is a good unit but the Reconyx is just in a different league. I've also had occasion to use each company's customer service. While each was very good, Reconyx is made in the USA so your turn-around time, should you need to send it in, is much shorter.

Reconyx is a awesome cam for sure but you can buy two Bushnell's for the cost of one Reconyx.

When it comes to trail cameras you truly do "Get What you pay for...."

Cuddeback Trail Camera works great and is about $300 dollars cheaper then a Reconyx.

Reconyx is great but if you want to have several trail cameras set up Cuddeback is the way to go great for the money and reliable. I own three Cuddebacks
