    hey guys, I have only really seen a couple post regarding the bushnell e2 trophy cam. I recently just purchased this on cabelas and do not have it in the field yet. From reading things off amazon the camera is pretty highly rated (4.5 stars out of 153 reviews). Does anyone on here have any feedback both positive or negative and or pics they would like to share from their e2 camera ? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I have one.

    Pros:

    Great clarity during the day. Okay clarity at night. Video is suitable.
    Insanely fast trigger time. Maybe best on the market for a budget cam.
    Case design is superb. Very appealing look.

    Cons:

    Battery life isnt great.
    Not a fan of the lens/aspect ratio. Its almost like its zoomed in a little. Subject appears closer than it is. BIG turn off for me.

    Some videos can be found here:

    ok man thanks for your POV! Do you mainly leave it on video mode is that perhaps why on the battery? How many months would you say you can get out of it before changing the batteries? I looked at the videos on yours, and they are ok quality from the E2 but I would mainly be using it for photo purposes.

    I only used the video mode for about a month, the battery life is pretty consistent regardless of whether its on picture or video.

    I wouldn't be opposed to adding another for the right price.

    Great cameras, really like mine. The trigger is very sensitive. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]
