I am in the market for a good camera. I've always used the cheap ones and I'm tired of the bad quality. I am looking at either a Bushnell Trophy Camera or a Covert. Those seem to have the best reviews. My question is for folks that have them which bushnell or covert to purchase. I don't want to spend over about $220 though. The covert looks good but I want to know which to look at and the quality of them. I see Bushnell has a new 8mp HD but I don't really care to take videos so that may be a waste of money for the extra feature of recording and taking pictures at the same time. And for the covert I was looking at the Black without wireless but reviews are all over the place. Opinions please? And links if you know where they are cheapest. Thanks and Happy Saturday!!!!

Is this one any good? It's plain Jane but will it provide good pics and quality? http://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-8MP-T...meras+bushnell
Or would I be better off with this....

The HD takes great pics. Better night quality than the original trophy cam. Very crisp daytime pics. Batter life is awesomeComment

I have 3 of the bushnell trophy cams and am pleased with them. They can be had for around $150 right now.
No experience with the Covert.Comment

I just got a Bushnell Trophy Cam HD Max Blackout. I set it out last weekend and haven't pulled photos from it yet but from working with it before I set it out it is a nice, well made camera. I bought mine at B&H Photo Video of all places. It was $240 but free shipping, no tax, and they sent me a $25 B&H gift card (which since I'm into photography is just like cash to me). They have other model Bushnells and different brands that are much cheaper that mine.Comment

Yup, thats the one I use. Guess they are even cheaper now. I don't think you can beat that cam for the money!Originally posted by Texas Stalker View PostComment

Seems like I may be on track with the Trophy cam. I guess now is the decision of whether to spend a little extra and get HD or be frugal and get the classic.Comment

Spendthe extra money! I've got both. Day pics are great, but the HD has been redone for the IR giving it a longer range with clearer night pics. On my classic I used a UWay IR range extender, but the HD's don't need oneOriginally posted by Texas Stalker View PostComment

Don't do it! Three of my 8.0's just crapped the bed. My old Coverts and my new Coverts are awesome and haven't missed a beat. I run 'me 24/7/365Originally posted by Texas Stalker View PostComment

Jeff, gosh. Aren't you supposed to be taking fish off the hook. So you say Covert? Which one?Comment

I'm betting the heat killed those Jeff. I know it's got me running slow.Comment

I have a couple of the bushnell 5.0's and love them. My favorite cams for sure. How ever I did sell one to Ronny and it crapped out on him. Speaking of....Ronny call me...we need to make an exchange. PM coming your way.Comment

I have both. Love the bushnell for vids with audio. Coverts dont miss a beat with pics. Can get 2012 Black 60 Covert for $140 if you prefer blackflash.Comment
