    Well been looking around little bit for some new cams and after reading some and looking on trailcampro.com I decided to pick up a couple. Found some at really good price jus hoping they are what they say ha. Anyway what kind of experiences has anybody had with these and any pointers on the different setting these apparently have. The cams I got now you pretty much turn them on and they're set, so any jump can get without experimenting to much would be nice ha.

    Well I have bushnell trophy cams that are 8mp the same as the HD one, but I don't know if they are different. I am pretty sure they are basically the same. I love them, I have 4 of them and have never had a problem. They take great pictures and long battery life. They work great for me, I think you will like it.

    I have 2 of the 466c models. Both missed stuff allot. I recently called Bushnell and they said send It In. They sent me back a brand new one (Trophy cam HD Max). We'll see If this one Is better. I'll be sending the other one back as soon as hunting Is over here.

    Thanks guys, so do you guys jus play around with the sensitivity and night time flash settings or is it something that isn't worth worrying about. I'm probably worrying bout stuff that doesn't matter and I'm positive it ain't as difficult as I'm making it out to be. Pretty sure I read to much and think bout stuff to much ha.

    Ultramax, I have a reconyx and have posted pics just recently, the cam is awesome and does everthing well, the price tag is real steep but worth it in my book. It is my favorite cam, I own six cams and the only one that comes close is my little acorn 5210a which is $250 cheaper. Actually night pics on the acorn are better but battery life, trigger speed doesn't even come close. I will tell you my wife bought me the covert red 40 for Christmas and I am pumped about getting it. The pics posted on here from the coverts are the best I have seen. I am anxious to see how it stacks up against the other two, but from what I have seen and heard it looks like a clear winner. Scoot

    I have 3 of the 5210a cams they do take good day pics but night pics are bad and battery life is way too short. my dlc coverts spanks them in almost every aspect.I run 20 cams here all year long of many brands and you will find the covert will put the acorn to shame and the pics are post card quality. glad to see your wife knows a great deal.

    sorry back to the bushnell topic. If you have the budget for it get the black flash model my 436's are red flash and the light it up but i have a few deer that shy away from spots after they get noticed. It helps to put the cam up over 7 foot out of the direct line of sight.
    Here a night pic from mine.

    Ha yea, heck if the pics woulda kept coming I coulda jus picked what I liked ha. That's kinda interesting bout the deer getting camera shy with the flash. Thanks tho guys, like said all I got now is some wildview ir cams and looking to upgrade. I've seen a lot of ppl going with Bushnell or covert so was interested to what people say.
