Frenchieboy Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) I'm looking at buying a Trail Camera in the near future. I would like one that takes still photos in both daylight and on nightshot plus the ability to take videos with "reasonable resolution and clarity"! I would be planning on spending around £120 on the camera alone (Not including P&P) - I have plenty of SD Cards and betteries etc that I could use. What would your recommendations be please with regards to make, model, picture quality, value for money, etc?

Dunkield Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Drop Huffhuff a PM - he seems to have plenty of happy customers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hiya Huffhuff seconded - and would have given change recently on the figure you have indicated. I think the one I acquired was the Lil Acorn - significant saving on the distributors. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 The ones Huff Huff sells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Maybe I should make the question more direct! Please can you tell me what make and model of Trail Camera you use and recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twitchynik Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I have an older version of one that huffhuff sells and I recommend it. I'm pretty sure the info you're looking for is in huffhuff's thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Maybe I should make the question more direct! Please can you tell me what make and model of Trail Camera you use and recommend. The time you have spent asking, and re-asking the question on here you could have looked up thread yourself. Or are you expecting someone else to do that for you?

Or are you expecting someone else to do that for you? No Dunkield, I don't expect others to do things for me, in fact I was not aware that there had been a complete thread put up about Trail Cameras. All I did was asked a simple straight forward question which I thought might have been fairly easy for most people to give an informative and constructive answer to. Maybe (As a moderator) you could even have set an example by answering the question with a constructive and helpful answer and then I would not have needed to rephrase my question in a way that could be more easily understood! As it is I have PMed Huffhuff and am waiting for a reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchieboy Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 I've just done that Grasshopper and found the thread. I would however be interested in different peoples evaluation of the camera (And others in that range) rather than just having to go by the spec and "sales blurb" offered by the manufacturers, maybe from someone with some "hands on experience" from using them. I'm sure that an honest review and appraisal would be very useful to many people interested in this type of photography if anyone would like to offer one!

grasshopper Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 John Galway did some in depth reviews a couple of years ago..he's now banned but thread may still be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted April 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 John Galway did some in depth reviews a couple of years ago..he's now banned but thread may still be there. Thanks! I'll have a search.I have found plenty of footage on youtube taken with one of these and I have to say that I am quite impressed, so much so that my mind is just about made up!

huffhuff Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 Pm replied too. A note on the YouTube vids, most of them have actually had the quality reduced (along with file size etc) so you generally get a better quality video/pic than what you see there. Thanks for the positive comments guys. I have another 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the most constructive thing said. And the most obvious thing to have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
