Moultrie trail cam??

[HANKFAN]

I have 12 M80's out right now and ran them all last year as well. Awesome little cameras. Great picture quality, good battery life and dependable.

OK I have used several didfferent models by moultrie

all I can say is they all seem to have slow wake up speeds/trigger times, meaning you get tons of pictures of nothing and or don't get a picture at all of things that walk past the camera's
and the IR I had/have, are not the best, is animal is moving at all, the pic's are blury to the point you cannot see subjest in the then

OVER bait they do work OK, as it will help trigget the camera by them standing in front of it a longer amount of time. but on trails, I think there are MUCH better camera's, and these moultrie's you will be dis appointed with! with so many missed pictures!
I have the solar panel and I have the remote cell phone sending deal(did it for just 3 months, and will not do again, , any one wnat to buy it??)
and the remote set up to send pic's via e mail, SUCKS
it will drain a set of batteries in about 40 -60 pictures, and again the cam is slow and picture quality is poor

as for battery life, even with the solar panel
I only get about 4 weeks over a bait pile in late winter, about 1400 to 1700 picture, more at night fatser they go dead, or colder
I get the same amount of WINTER over bait picture or MORE out of my cuddleback with a real flash over bait, and thats without a solar panel, wish they had one as an option!
right now in warmer weather, the solar panel seems to hold up much better, but then gain I am not over a bait pile, but a pinch point on a food plot to help get pic's!
I am not bashing there camera's, they do work, and take OK pic's when they do much better in day time than at night !
but if you look into any test web site that test camera's you will see there trigger speeds are slow as to say a cuddleback(there not the greatest cams either, but the best I have used as for working and the value! and there bear box is by far the best out there to help prevent you camera from walking off!)

just so you know what your getting
as far as I know there is only about 4 trail cam's on the market that have REAL sub 1 second triggers, and thats a must if you ask me for on a trail!
the cuddleback, the reconix, the buckeye cam, and , pending review the leupold and ONE bushnell camera I think

all the other makers can claim what they like, but??
look at real reviews and you'll see there not telling the truth!

just my 2 cents, been using trail cam's since 1998, so?? what do I know!
