    Reconyx trail cameras

    Anybody out there use these cameras.I guess I am going to have to break down and spend the money to get a camera that will make it a whole year witout a trip to the warranty shop.

    by far the best cameras I've ever used, however my pockets aren't deep enough to fork out the money for one when I could get several stealth cams or low end cuddys for less.

          I have two, and I feel confident that if an animal walks in front of one, well, he'd better say "cheese". I hunt on public land therefore there is no feeder. I have to position my cameras on trails or scrapes. The cameras are expensive, but trigger sppeeds are as advertised.

          I bought mine last year before they came out with the new and improved smaller version. There is talk that the photo quality for the new models is less than what a high end camera should produce, but like I said, it is a rumor and I haven't confirmed that myself.

          I will tell you that my cameras are the RC-55's and they are fast with great picture quality. They are larger than most cameras sold today, but that is a trade-off I'm okay with in order to be assured that they are working. If they show zero pictures it means that zero animals passed in front of the sensor.

            The only downside I have with my Reconyx is that it seems to suck up batteries. Usually go through 6 batteries a month. Working on a solar panel to eliminate that problem. The camera takes great pictures and I have not had a shot of just the back side of a critter, the shutter speed is as advertised.

              I bought one several months ago. The Hyperfire has over 20,000 pics taken and battery life is still 99%.

                Best bang for the buck is home brew. You build an IR model under $300.

                If you don't mind a flash model, you can build one of those for around $200. It can be slightly larger than an iPhone.
