I'm considering the purchase of a trail camera verses building one from a Olympus D-380. The homebuilts are not that hard to produce, you can get everything off the net. But I'd rather purchase one to save time.
Has anyone had any success with any particular brand?
I like my Moultrie I40. Seems like the Stealth brand is also popular.
Looked around for a while and settled on a Moultrie Game Spy. For $100 it's perfect for my needs. I use it to photograph wildlife on our trails.
I had a Stealth and the picture quality wasn't close to the Moultrie.

I really like my ScoutGuard 550

I decided on a Bushnell Trophy Cam last year. Seems to work very well for my needs. Takes pictures at night using a PIR and ifrared so there's no flash. The night time pictures are black and white but very sharp. The pics taken during the day are quite sharp(color). It uses 4 aa batteries and has provisions for any 6vdc power source you can use as a back up. Seems like the double a's last for months. I connect a 6vdc gell cell.
It was 200.00$ and has a mutitude of settings and options but not too complicated.
So i guess I'm recomending the Bushnell.
