    Hmm. The day pics aren't as clear as I expected them to be. Looks like motion blur even on day pics. Looks like a decent little camera though.

    Yeah I think right now it's average at best, but this was their lowest price point camera. The other two cameras might be a little better. The camera was super easy to set up with the hawk sync app from my phone though. I'm headed out to my lease Friday to deploy this camera to get real results from the hardwoods. Once I generate enough photos I'll post them on here for people to see, but by then there might be a few people already on here that have the camera.

    :lol: I have a few Bushnell, Cabelas, several Moultries, browning, and now hawk. I just deployed the hawk in the woods yesterday so hopefully I can get some good photos.

    Covert was my stuff for a while, but last year or so been having bad luck with them. Look forward to the updates, but I'm impatient so I might not be able to wait before I get one

    I'm hoping to leave it out for another couple weeks so I can get some good information on it. Its hot here in TX here lately with temps reaching mid to upper 90s. So I'm curious on how it's holding up.

    Well so far a few weeks in with the new camera, I am really not all that impressed. Granted I bought the lower end version but I had it out in the woods for a couple weeks and it captured 78 photos. Majority are blank, guessing maybe triggered by tree movement. But here are few of the pictures that of wildlife I was able to capture. Still images are ok, night pics are alright but a little grainy and if any movement happens it's a little blurry. Battery life is still strong. There are other cameras for the money that I would rather have like my E2 over this one for now.

    The bushnell e2 has been the best they have put out in years. Then they messed that up with the e3. If you can find any e2's they take great pics.

    I agree with this 100%. I wish I had more E2s and less E3s

    My next camera may be a radix just to try. I like my browning strike force though as well.

    That's a good deal on a great camera for pictures.

    I have not heard to many good things about them. I wanted to invest in some but will hold for now.

    I have the lower end model and it is still out in the field. So far I am not that impressed with them. I have a lot of blank photos, photos are a little pixelated, and when animals are in movement it gets a little blurry. I have my camera in a good location and plan on checking them out this weekend and hope to post some. The camera is ok at best for now. Battery life has been great on it though 3 months in, I will say that.
