    Took a shot on the new 2016 camera. I found it for $70 online so my expectations were not super high but I wanted to try them out. Based on the detection circuit and picture quality I would probably give it a 4 out of 10. It will do what I need it to do but overall not super impressed.

    Those pics are on par with a lot of cams out there today. Not bad at all.

    No not bad for the money. But when you can get the G30 for about $19 more there is a giant difference. I was hoping since they bumped the Px14 up to 8mp and the 16:9 wide screen that the image quality would be "crisp" at least. I just felt like these were really pixelated. Almost like w water color painting. That was my main disappointment with it.

    I wouldnt get overly concerned with MP as that is just a marketing ploy I run all my cams on 5 MP

    Have you noticed that you get a better picture quality by doing that? I know a lot of cameras have smaller MP sensors then what they advertise then they will interpolate out to the higher setting. I'm sure the interpolation kills some quality and increases file size?

    Just as good of pictures and take up less space on the SD card

    In my opinion the only time higher MP is needed is when set on time lapse and you need to zoom in on critters that are farther away

    Good for the money. I bought 2 P12's one time. Those sucked. One only lasted a year and the other takes 1000 pics a week of nothing.

    Anyone else run these cameras? I found a retailer selling 2 of them for $99 shipped. Took a chance on them.. I'm not out much on $49 cameras.

    They are not $30 each in my opinion.
    I bought a pair of Moultrie L-50's two years ago for $39.99 for the pair and those cameras take way better pictures.
    I have plenty of sample pictures I can show you. Very pixelated pictures.
