For Dimitry:
Here is an example pict from the Bushnell 11-9200:

Big difference in quality. Now admit it, for the same money which cam would you choose?

Dallan,
For the same money the Bushnell would be the one to get
I'm not saying there are better ones then others in the same price range.
Also not saying I wouldnt get the best one in terms of quality then the other if they are the same price.
I'm just refering to the fact when I go to Bass Pro there is always people complaining because they can take better pictures then the trailcams can. Which I dont understand because Trailcams in general are cheaper then the digital camara's they are comparing them to and yet they still execpt it to be just as good as that exepensive digital camara they just bought

Oh I understand now, sorry for the confusion
Yes I do not expect normal camera preformance from a "Trailcam". However people that do need to look into the "home brew" cams... you can buy the entire circuit board, sensors... EVERYTHING minus the camera to make your own. There are tons of plans and mods to different retail cameras to adapt them to a home brew kit.
I gotta say some of those pictures are absolutely AMAZING!. Just a bit more costly than what I want for the moment.
PS: I posted a review and picts from my camera here:

Dallan, you will have a good hunting season this year with all of thouse critters running around.
Edit- Sratch the home built kit, cant find a IR sensor with a long range

Dallan- I love the looks of your neighborhood. You should have great bow season. Think those cameras would pick up a beaver |
You bet! Walmart supposedly has a cheap Moultrie for sale now... like $80 or so? The www.chasingame.com guys are testing it as we speak.

PS: Side note on www.chasingame.com, I kindof plug them a bit because A) they have AWSOME info if you have any kind of interest in a trail cam and B) I talked with Anthony and hes given me permission to advertise (within reason) the picture hosting for here or www.TrophyChaser.com. Good people those guys are.

Hey, Chasingame.com is awsome. Great information and they don't have any reason to make false reports. Good honest comparisons and they even fess up when they make a mistake in the tests. Ya got to like guys like that. We need more consumer testing of our equipment and chasingame.com is leading the way.
