    I've had cameras out for a couple years and really can't find a brand I like. I've used moultrie and wild game innovations. I'm wanting one that takes video during the day and ir pics at night that's under $200. Any suggestions?

    In that price range there are many good cams. Bushnell, Scoutguard, and you may want to take another look at the newer Moultries. The Moultrie M80 has the features you are looking for and is well under your $200 price at about $120.00. Good luck!

    I agree. M80 or M100 looks very nice. Hear great things about Scoutguard too.

    I'm in the same boat as you my big thing is delay time. 30sec is to long anyone know what the m80s delay is?

    I couldn't resist. I just ordered 2 from Scheels. $199.98 total. No tax, No Shipping. Too good of a deal to pass up.

    Initially when the M80 came out the delay was 30sec, a long time I agree. I have heard that there is a software update online that reduces that to 15sec. So we will see.

    You may want to read what the gang at trail cam pro says about the Moultrie M-80 by clicking on the "Best Bang for you Buck" on their home page.

    Starting to rethink my order. Think I should have ordered 3-4 instead of just the one! Might have to put in another order soon as I get to try this one out! They should give me one for all of the referrals I just sent them! LOL

    HaHa, no kidding. I actually saw that had them on sale the other day, but it wouldn't let me order them. I saw your post and went back and found that I could order. So I did. You made them a $200 sale!!

    Just bought one too! Thanks for the heads up about the Scheel-deal. Figured I'd buy one for now, I've risked more money for less.
