    Primos Truth Cams? I'm gonna need a new one, and this one caught my eye. Any thoughts?

    I've got one in the field right now, I'll be able to give you some intitial thoughts in week or so. Out of the box my first reaction was a positive one but won't really know anything until I pull the first set of pictures.

    Just pulled my first set of pictures from the Primos 60. It is a bit of a mixed bag.

    Pros: Trigger speed and sensing seems to be solid. Most animals were in the middle of the frame. I had 483 pictures, set in 3 picture burst mode, thats 161 triggers in 10 days. I looked back at last year in the same spot and thats very comparable to the number of triggers as I had with the a cuddeback capture. Night pictures were good quality, some blurring but generally not bad. Battery life was showing 85%. Picture quality is very good.

    Cons: White out pictures! I had 11 sets that the pictures are white, all occured between 6:30-8:00 pm. The camera was facing south so their shouldn't be any direct sunlight issues. I would write it off to strange lighting but it happened on 5 different days. Also had dark pictures just after sundown and right at dawn. It looks like the camera struggles to handle light in the transition periods. There are more blurry pictures from the animal moving than I have gotten with cuddebacks, I would think that means the shutter speed is slower but I'm no expert.

    The verdict is still out for me, I'm going to move the camera this weekend and see if it makes a difference on the whiteout images.
