    All u all talk about are these covert cameras so they must be great. I have seen some of these pictures they look good. So which one should I get?? Is the model that sends text a good one?? I know a few cameras that have more options like that seem to tear up more. I'm a reconyx man but need to buy some more cameras and would like to experiment with some new cameras. Maybe if I get a covert it will covert me to be a covert man!

    You can't really go wrong with any of them...if you ever have issues they will make it right...its just how much you want to spend

    I think the red 40 takes the best pics.

    My red 40 is my favorite cam but if you want a black flash the mp6 black is a great little cam. Scoot

    If I bought a Covert today, It'd be a Black60.

    I have the Red 40's and absolutely LOVE them!! My next camera (better be :rant: ) will hopefully be the Special Ops Code Black. I'm in need of a camera that can send me pics since our property is 6 1/2 hours away and that one sure fit's the bill!! :nana:

    I have a red40 an a mp6 both are awesome cams but i like the red40 the best! The mp6 is a hell of a work horse too!

    The mpe5 looks awesome an their pretty cheap. Like they said it all depends on what you want to spend.

    I would go with the mp6, I think it is right between the MPE5 and the red 40. If you want something on the cheaper side go with the MPE5. Thats what I have and I love it.

    My opinions are as follows ...

    MPE5 great camera for the $ limited settings but takes good pictures retail $110
    MP6 great camera more advanced setting display screen retail $149
    MP6 Black really good camera for pictures if you want Black retail $169
    Red 40 best pics night or day retail $199
    Black 60 is my cam of choice for HD video with audio retail $229

    MP6 is what I recommend to everyone wanting to test out Coverts but don't want to break bank. If you are sure you'll like them grab the Red40, which is what I consider the flagship camera. The MP6black is a great one if sensitivity to possible bedding area locations and such is a worry. I have used all of them save the Black60 and love them all honestly, more driven by where I need some and how much as to what I buy next (placing order today again!).

    What I like though is Covert has a camera line up for every kind of situation/setup/budget.

    I like the MP6black for a budget friendly black flash camera.
