Cameras at sams

Postby whiteboy » Thu Jun 07, 2012 7:42 pm

I saw these at sams in tupelo the other day. I was just wondering if anybody has tried them yet?

What kind?

I have 5 Bushnell Trophy Cams, 2 Cudde's, and 1 HCO that i run nearly year round. Bushnells seem to have the best warrenty in my experience. I've tried the Wild Game Innovations Cameras, DLC's, and a couple of other "cheaper" cameras, and In my experience, you get what you pay for, up to a certain point with game camera's.

for the money - DLC 3.0 or moultrie m80. My choice would be the Moultrie. You can get them for around $107 if you shop the internet and amazon. I picked up 6 last year and have no complaints at all so far.

I like the BTC's too. I've got 3 5mp and 2 8mp's with no complaints, but that camera is $150+ too. I've got one cuddeback flash - no complaints so far and picture quality is by far the best of all of my cameras. I've got 2 DLC 3.0's, and you can get this camera for around $75 if you shop around. For the price, its my number one choice. I also have a scoutguard that's been running 4 years with no complaints.

For those that don't know, the DLC, Bushnells, and Scoutguards are all basically the same exact camera with a different name on them.

go with the moultrie M80. you will be happy for the $. Walmart in Batesville had them on sale two weeks ago for $80. If i could manage anymore cameras, I would have bought a few more for that price.

I got 2 DLC 3.0's last year at the Wildlife Extravaganza in Jackson for +/- $75 apiece last yr. My 2 are/were junk. They won't trigger unless an animal is <10' away. i sent DLC an email, and they basically said they hadn't had any problem with those camera's and i was doing something wrong, and to figure it out. I chalked it up as a lesson learned, and i don't take a second look at their products now. I'm sure i just got 2 bad apples, but their people pizzed me off more than anything.

yes that's unusual. They were pretty good to a friend of mine on this site that has some problems with a different model. Customer service says it all though. Scoutguard has the best customer service of any company i've ever personally dealt with. Luckily, that's the only camera i've had any trouble out of and it's because it got wet.
